Recycling Services
Do your part and recycle appliances and CFLs safely through Wright-Hennepin.
As a service to members, Wright-Hennepin accepts compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), regular fluorescent lights and certain appliances for recycling at its headquarters in Rockford (6800 Electric Drive). A fee is charged to cover the cost of recycling. Per Minnesota state law, fluorescent bulbs must be recycled*, rather than thrown in the garbage.
CFLs
CFLs and fluorescent ballasts can be dropped off on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Appliances
On Wednesdays between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., the cooperative also accepts some appliances, including:
- Refrigerators
- Freezers
- Washers
- Dryers
- Dishwashers
Wright-Hennepin does not accept:
- Restaurant equipment
- Gas operated refrigerators
- Computers
- Office equipment
- Business equipment
- Televisions
- Water softeners
*Because of the presence of mercury, CFLs must be recycled. In Minnesota, it is illegal to place them directly in the garbage.
