Town Of Dane Recycling is the small-town recycling center on Hyslop Road that locals in Waunakee use to drop off household recyclables and occasional bulky items. People from the town and nearby rural properties bring their sorted materials here rather than running them to a county site farther away. Expect a straightforward, no-frills place that handles common curbside-type recyclables and some special collections.
A short drive down 6457 Hyslop Rd leads to a fenced lot with a small entrance booth and a few large collection containers. Pull up to the booth first to get directed; there’s commonly a scale or vehicle check point where incoming loads are noted. Bins for paper, cardboard, plastics, and metal are usually grouped to the right, while mattresses, electronics or other special-program items are handled at separate drop-off points. Winters can change how things operate here-plowing, limited access to certain containers, or altered procedures are common in colder months.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load and sort recyclables at home so dropping off is quick; weekends and spring cleanups often have lines.
- Bring items in a vehicle that can back up close to the containers when possible-some spots require walking short distances with materials.
- Have items separated by type (paper, cardboard, plastics, metal) and be prepared for staff or attendants to ask where things go; bulky or special items may need to be taken to a different area of the site.
