Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
We have opened a seasonal HHW Depot to offer a more convenient way to dispose of bathroom cleaners, nail polish remover, paint, insecticides, chemical fertilizers, etc.
Starting in June 2022, we will be open Tuesday and Thursday mornings (We can't find any weekend help at present.) and closing at the end of September.
Call Mary O'Brien at 802-674-9235 for an appointment and directions to the Depot.
If you need to properly dispose of HHW when our Depot is closed (e.g., October through May) "The Rutland County Solid Waste District has a permanent hazardous waste collection facility that is generally open year-round. Visit their website or call 802-775-7209 for more information."
If you just have paint to recycle, and the cans are labeled and not leaking, you can bring them to your local participating retailer. Visit https://www.paintcare.org/paintcare-states/vermont/#/everyone for the closest location.
