Year-Round Hazardous Waste Collection 

Do you have household hazardous waste you need to dispose of NOW?

The
Chittenden Solid Waste District now collects hazardous waste from residents outside its district for a fee. Click here for complete information from CSWD. 

Wondering what Household Hazardous Waste is?! Visit our Hazardous Waste program page to learn more! 
Remember: always store household hazardous waste in a cool, dry place that is inaccessible to children and pets. Don't flush or pour household hazardous wastes down the drain or outside. Make sure to dispose of them properly at a hazardous waste facility or hazardous waste collection event.

Paint, Batteries, Bulbs and Electronics Recycling Programs

Paint, batteries, bulbs and e-waste have year round drop-off locations throughout VT. Check out these websites to find a location near you! You can also bring paint, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and E-Waste to our Additional Recyclables Collection Center (ARCC) at 540 North Main Street in Barre year round.
