Electronic waste, or "e-waste," refers to any outdated, broken, or unwanted electrical and electronic devices that are discarded or plugged into a wall or powered by batteries.
Because these items contain materials that require special handling, they cannot simply be thrown into your standard household trash bin.
What Items Count as E-Waste?
Computers & Accessories: Desktops, laptops, monitors, keyboards, mice, and hard drives.
Mobile Devices: Smartphones, cell phones, tablets, and chargers.
Entertainment Tech: Televisions, DVD players, gaming consoles, and stereo speakers.
Office Equipment: Printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines.
Small Appliances: Microwaves, smart home hubs, vacuums, and digital clocks.
Why Does E-Waste Require Special Disposal?
Environmental Safety: Electronics contain toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, and cadmium that can leak into soil and water if buried in standard landfills.
Resource Recovery: Circuit boards and components contain valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper that can be reclaimed and reused.
Data Privacy: Hard drives and smart devices retain personal data that must be safely destroyed or wiped during the recycling process.
YES! We do FREE CURBSIDE PICKUP for scrap metal and e-waste (vaccumm cleaners, fans, electronics, etc.) as well as DISCOUNTED CURBSIDE PICKUP for certain items (mattresses, furniture, etc.).
However, we do charge for removal of these items due to labor, liability insurance, etc.
While we pride ourselves on being able to tackle any job, state and city regulations prevent us from removing any types of hazardous waste
Examples of items we cannot remove:
Paints
Solvents
Pesticides
Automotive fluids
Propane tanks
Lead-acid car batteries and lithium-ion batteries
Medical waste
We are always in search of places to properly dispose of ALL items possble, and will notify customers of any possible disposal resources for the above items if we are not able to dispose of them ourselves.

Northwoods Junk Removal & Cleanout actually started as a reselling platform under the name 'J-Rock's Gems, LLC', buying items from thrift stores and through abandonded storage units at auction. However, we began to observe the the same items we were purchasing being thrown in dumpsters and on the streets in front of apartments every month when people would move out. As we began to collect these items to recycle them, an idea emerged to go directly to the source to help people dispose of their items they no longer need in an eco-friendly manner to help stop filling landfills with things that can still serve a purpose! At the same time, we decided to pivot the business model, we also decided to rename the business to 'Northwoods Junk Removal & Cleanout, LLC' to begin to focus on the heart of Wisconsin, branching out from the Wausua area beginning in May of 2027!
