Is recycling free??
Most transfer stations will not charge you if you are bringing recycling. However, if you take your recycling to a "fast trash" location, prices may be expected. Each private hauler can set their own rates for recycling based on their hauling expenses. Check with your hauler to find out what their rates may be.

What do you DO with all this stuff?? Additional Recycling at ARCC
Everything has an end source that takes it from us and recycles in different ways.
- Many of our additional recycling items (e.g. granola bar wrappers, chip bags, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and brushes, etc.) are sent to TerraCycle.
- Books go to one of two outlets: Primarily, we send usable, readable literature and non-fiction to Thriftbooks in CT. We also maintain a smaller collection for old dictionaries, law books, damaged hardcovers, etc., which go to ShredEx for paper recycling in Colchester, VT.
- Electronics and appliances mainly go to Good Point Recycling in Middlebury, for dismantling, recovery, and resale.
