How disposal works in Vermont
Vermont has one operating landfill, in Coventry, so trash goes through town transfer stations and regional districts' drop-off centers, and most charge by the bag or the cubic yard: $4 for an 18-gallon bag plus $1 a visit at Chittenden County's drop-off centers, $3 per 15 gallons in Stowe, and $171 a ton for weighed loads near Middlebury.
State law keeps recyclables, food scraps, yard debris, appliances, tires, electronics, paint and batteries out of the trash, so drop-off centers sort them into separate areas, often at no charge.
We're writing Vermont up town by town: 8 towns are live, and our guide to what it costs to dump in Vermont puts their rates side by side. The finder covers the transfer stations, drop-off centers, recycling centers and household hazardous waste facilities on the state's Materials Management Map.
