Airbag Recycling in Wisconsin
Undeployed airbags hold explosive chemicals like sodium azide, so they can't be tossed in the garbage. Recycle Technologies offers certified disposal of deployed and undeployed airbags at its New Berlin facility, giving Wisconsin repair shops, dealerships, fleets, and individual drivers a documented, safe way to get rid of them.
Both individuals and businesses can drop airbags off in New Berlin; businesses can book a commercial pickup, and anyone can use the nationwide Mail-In Program. Handling rules can differ, so we suggest checking requirements with your local authorities before you dispose of an airbag.
Airbag Recycling Services in Wisconsin
We accept airbags whether they have deployed or not. They can reach us three ways: a drop-off at our New Berlin facility (open to individuals and businesses), a scheduled commercial pickup for business customers, or the nationwide Mail-In Program. If driving to New Berlin doesn't work for you, order an airbag recycling kit and send your airbags to us.
New Berlin Is Our Wisconsin Recycling Facility
Airbag recycling in Wisconsin takes place at our New Berlin facility, which operates as a licensed airbag waste collection facility. Individuals and businesses can bring airbags in person, and businesses also have the option of a commercial pickup. Recycle Technologies has been serving the Midwest since 1993 and runs licensed facilities in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

What We Accept
We take both deployed and undeployed airbags, plus related components.
Driver-Side and Passenger Airbags
Standard front airbags taken out of vehicles.
Side-Impact and Curtain Airbags
Airbags that deploy from door or seat side panels and roof rails.
Knee and Seat Airbags
Other airbag types found in newer vehicle safety systems.
Standalone Inflators and Modules
Inflators and modules that come separate from the airbag itself.
Undeployed units must be packaged and labeled to DOT Hazmat standards before they ship, and our team can walk you through the steps. If you aren't sure whether a particular airbag or component qualifies, call the New Berlin facility before you schedule a pickup or send a mail-in shipment.
Airbag Recycling for Wisconsin Businesses
Auto repair shops, body shops, dealerships, dismantlers, and fleet operators can book a commercial pickup for airbags. It's a business-only service, not one for households. Using a recycler that treats airbags as a specialty service reduces liability for your shop and keeps hazardous parts out of general waste. Each completed disposal includes a certificate of recycling for your files.
Airbag Recycling for Wisconsin Residents
If you're an individual, you can bring airbags to our New Berlin facility. If that's not convenient, the nationwide Mail-In Program lets you ship airbags from anywhere in the country using an airbag recycling kit. Scheduled pickup is limited to commercial customers. Because undeployed airbags are hazardous, check requirements with your local authorities and reach out to our team with any questions before you transport or ship one.
