Mercury Thermometers and Mercury Thermostats are accepted free of charge
at the Oconto County MRF. You can also receive a free digital thermometer in
exchange for a mercury thermometer. Broken thermometers or thermostats are not
accepted. Only wall mount thermostats with glass tube mercury switches are
accepted. Please recycle the entire thermostat. For information on handling spills
and cleanup search the EPA website www.epa.gov/hg/
Recycle plastic bags, film & wrap at participating locations such as grocery,
retail & hardware stores. Oconto Co. MRF & drop off centers do not accept
plastic bags, film or wrap. Loose plastic bags, film & wrap clogs up processing
machinery causing unnecessary expenses at recycling facilities and at local
landfill sites.
Recycling Oil Filters, Absorbents & Antifreeze: A state mandated ban prohibits
all landfilling of used engine oil filters and all oil absorbent materials, except
absorbent materials with no free flowing oils or hazardous materials within can be
landfilled. All types of materials used to absorb or contain waste oil are subject to
the ban, including granular kitty-litter type absorbents, oil-dry cloth, rags, wipes,
paper toweling and absorbent pillows, pads, socks, etc Antifreeze or Ethylene Glycol
is a poisonous substance that can be harmful to humans, animals and the
environment. The best alternative to manage antifreeze is to recycle the material.
Each drop off center is provided with a container for recycling used oil filters and
antifreeze, although not all sites may have a container for absorbent disposal.
Check with the site attendant for the proper disposal of these materials.
SET OUT RECYCLING BINS BY 7 AM - AND ONLY WHEN AS FULL AS PRACTICAL INCORRECTLY PREPARED RECYCLABLES WILL BE LEFT IN THE BIN WITH A
