E-Waste
Electronic waste, commonly known as e-waste, refers to any electronic product that is nearing or has reached the end of its useful life. This includes everything from the smartphone in your pocket to the old refrigerator in your garage.
If it has a plug, a battery, or a circuit board, and you are done using it, it is likely e-waste.

Do you take electronics (e-waste) and old TVs?
Yes, we do. CRT TVs/monitors cannot be picked up on the curb. Please bring them to our Recycling Center for disposal. There is no charge for flat-screen TVs. The following charges apply for CRT TVs/monitors: $40.00. Please see our Electronic (E-waste) division for a complete list of materials that we accept.
Do you pay for cardboard and glass?
We do not buy consumer glass or cardboard. For industrial quantities, please contact us for more information about the recycling of large quantities of these materials.
Is window pane glass recyclable?
Window glass is different from household glass and containers. Window glass is often coated or tinted. Also, depending on the application where it’s used, it could be laminated or tempered glass. Consequently, the many different types of window glass cannot be combined in the recycling process.
To learn more, visit the Riley County Website and contact Riley County Transfer Station, which you can learn more about here.
Do you take propane bottles?
Yes, as long as the valves are taken off. We will purchase this as steel.
What time do you stop taking loads of steel in your scrapyard?
Our yard is open at 8:00 am and closes at 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, and from 8:00 am to 11:30 am on Saturday. Plan to arrive at Bison Ridge Recycling in plenty of time to be able to dump and leave the facility by these closing times.
Are there any regulations about selling scrap materials in the State of Kansas?
For specific information about the sale of non-ferrous materials, please refer to our policies, as new laws went into effect in July 2020, that govern our purchase of these materials.
