2017 Household Hazardous Waste and Special Collections

The 2017 Collection Season is Coming Up!

FULL COLLECTION SCHEDULE

We offer two types of collection events. At Paint, Battery and Fluorescent Bulb (PBF) events, we collect those three materials free of charge. At our Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events, we collect most other hazardous waste for a fee of $20/carload for in district residents or $75/carload for out of district.  Read more about what hazardous waste is here.

*Please note: Schools and small businesses must call ahead to pre-register for these events. Small businesses must be a Conditionally Exempt Generator (CEG). Learn more at the State of Vermont's website.  To register as a CEG, call our Operations Manager at 802-229-9383 X 105.
