On Thursday, March 26, 2020, the Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD) will reopen the Williston Drop-Off Center at 1492 Redmond Road. All other Drop-Off Centers and the Environmental Depot (hazardous waste facility) will remain closed until further notice.

Fee beginning Saturday, March 28:

  • There will be a flat $10 fee per visit.

  • Exact cash appreciated.

 

This facility will accept these materials only:

  • Household trash. Limit: 4 bags or barrels of any size.

  • Food scraps.
  • Twigs and tree branches.

To limit interactions and keep traffic moving, CSWD is also implementing the following changes beginning immediately:

  • Customers who have only food scraps should take them to Green Mountain Compost. No charge.

 

  • The Environmental Depot hazardous waste facility is closed until further notice. Call the CSWD Hotline at 802-872-8111 with questions. Businesses should call 802-865-4663 with hazardous waste questions.

 

"We only have capacity to staff one Drop-Off Center. Williston is our largest and most centrally located Drop-Off Center and provides the best option for managing customers and materials as safely and efficiently as possible," said CSWD Executive Director Sarah Reeves.

 

CSWD has confirmed that private trash and recycling collection companies have capacity to add residential customers. See options at www.cswd.net/haulers. Burlington residents should check with the Burlington Public Works department.
