South Burlington Dump (CSWD Drop-Off Center, Vermont) — Hours, Fees & Limits
South Burlington's dump is the CSWD Drop-Off Center at 87 Landfill Road, open Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It's one of the district's busiest and tightest sites, so no trailers and no oversized furniture, and trash is limited to a cubic yard.
Trash runs from $4 for a bag up to 18 gallons to $48 a cubic yard, plus $1 a visit. For a couch, mattress or a trailer load, use the Milton, Essex or Williston drop-off centers instead.

One of CSWD's busiest and tightest sites: no trailers and no dumping mechanisms.
From CSWD's fee schedule; the $1 facility fee started July 1, 2026. Blue-bin recycling is free (up to a cubic yard) when you bring at least 18 gallons of trash, or $2 without it; food scraps up to 30 gallons are free with trash. TVs, computers, monitors and printers are free under Vermont's E-Cycles program, up to seven items. Single bulky items are priced by the attendant. CSWD takes cash, checks and cards (3% card fee).
Because the site is small and busy, South Burlington takes up to one cubic yard of bagged or loose trash and no oversized items. It still takes tires, electronics, batteries, propane tanks, scrap metal, textiles, books and shredded paper. For large loads, CSWD points people to its Williston drop-off center (trailers and dump bodies allowed) or to the private Casella transfer station in Williston, which sets its own prices.
Paint thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals and other household hazardous waste go to the CSWD Environmental Depot at 1011 Airport Parkway in South Burlington, by appointment, Wednesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Motor oil and filters, fluorescent bulbs and mercury thermostats are also taken in small amounts at every drop-off center except Burlington.
Vermont bans a long list of things from household trash and landfills: car batteries and waste oil (since 1990), large appliances and paint (1991), tires (1992), mercury products, TVs, computers and other electronics (2011), recyclables (2015), leaves, yard debris and clean wood (2016) and food scraps (2020). Everything else ends up at the state's only operating landfill, in Coventry.
