Security Financial Bank is partnering with the Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection to host a free fraud prevention seminar from 9 to 11 am on Wednesday, April 16 at SFB's Black River Falls office.

Helpful factsheets from The Bureau of Consumer Protection will be available. As Wisconsin's lead agency for consumer protection, the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection, provides information and education, mediates complaints, investigates cases, and takes enforcement actions to fight fraudulent and deceptive practices that harm consumers and honest businesses.

Appliance and Electronics Round-Up

Saturday April 19, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

115 Harrison Street, Black River Falls

Wisconsin’s electronics recycling law was implemented on January 1, 2010. E-Cycle Wisconsin affects all Wisconsin residents as it prohibits the disposal of designated electronics in a landfill or incinerator.

Computers, computer accessories, TVs, cell phones and other electronics contain harmful materials, including lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, other heavy metals and chemical flame retardants. If electronics are landfilled, incinerated or illegally dumped or burned, these pollutants may contaminate water, air or soil and affect human and environmental health. Improperly handled discarded electronics may also pose health risks to workers from companies that manage the electronics.

It is also important to recycle electronics because of the valuable reusable materials they contain, including precious metals, steel, glass, plastics and others. Recycling or reusing these materials reduces environmental impacts and economic costs by reducing the need for virgin materials in new electronics.

For a complete list of appliances that are accepted, contact the Zoning Department at 715.284.0220. Cost per appliance is $10.00.
