Wisconsin universally bans designated recyclable materials from landfills and incinerators under Wis. Stat. § 287.07 and requires every responsible unit to operate an effective recycling program meeting statewide standards.
Wis. Stat. § 287.07 prohibits disposal of aluminum, steel, glass, and certain plastic containers, newspaper, magazines, office paper, corrugated cardboard, foam polystyrene packaging, lead acid batteries, major appliances, waste oil, yard waste, electronics, and tires in landfills or incinerators. Wis. Stat. § 287.09 and § 287.11 require each responsible unit (county, city, village, town, or designated entity) to operate a recycling program that collects banned materials and meets minimum performance standards under Wis.
