E-waste
As of January 1, 2011, all electronic waste (otherwise known as e-waste) is banned from Vermont landfills and incinerators. Vermont joined twenty-four other states in leading the efforts to address the growing challenges of disposing of such waste by setting up a system in which electronics manufacturers who sell electronic devices in VT must help cover the costs of recycling these devices. As a result of this plan, there is no disposal fee to Vermont residents, small businesses, schools, and charities for disposal of covered devices at state certified permanent collection sites.
To find the e-waste collector nearest you, please refer to the State of Vermont's list of registered e-waste collection sites and general e-waste information.
