![]() Battery Recycling
Drop off your used batteries for special recycling and save our one-and-only landfill! Have you been throwing the used batteries from your remote controls, flashlights or toys into the trash? Stop! Until recently that was acceptable in Vermont. However, since Jan. 1, 2016, the State has added alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9v, etc.) to the list of batteries that can be recycled for FREE.

However, transfer stations may offer a spot for dropping off clean wood for other residents to pick up for reuse. Read More...
