Graichen Disposal & Recycling LLC is a neighborhood recycling center on WI-54 in New London that local residents use to drop off household recyclables. Centers like this typically take paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals, and may run occasional special drop-offs for electronics or yard/compostable material.
Expect a drive-up layout with large bins and roll-offs where people sort and leave materials; at places like this there’s often an entrance booth and a scale, so plan on a brief stop in and out. The lot usually has room for trucks and trailers and the recycling containers are grouped by material, so know where each type goes before getting out of the vehicle. State environmental agencies regulate these sites, so accepted items and any fees can vary - having things sorted will speed the process. Weekends and spring-cleanup time tend to be the busiest, so lines and wait times are common then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables at home into cardboard, mixed paper, glass, plastics and metal so unloading is quick and less confusing at the bins.
- Bring gloves and wear closed-toe shoes; handling heavy boxes and broken items can get messy and sharp edges are common.
- Try to go on a weekday morning if possible - weekends and spring cleanup periods usually have the longest waits.
