Recycling

The following resources exist for recycling in Southern Vermont:
Click the  Recycle Guide for more information.

Please respect the recycling stations as a free drop off point for your bottles and cans, plastic and paper products - NOT FOR TRASH.  Remember when you dump garbage (or even un-sorted bags of material) someone else has to take the time to sort through and deal with your stuff. This is a problem that can only be solved if everyone respects the privilege and responsibility of recycling their own stuff.
