Your source for proper disposal

How’s your compost pile going? Is there a spot for community composting you’ve been thinking about? The Rutland County Solid Waste District is seeking people and organizations that want to host a compost workshop in your town. Please email carld@rcswd.com, or call (802) 775-7209 with suggestions on where to host a workshop.

Hazardous Waste Collection events are ending soon! Make sure to check your FPF calendar for the next HHW collection at your transfer station. Also view the full schedule at www.rcswd.com/hhw.

The Gleason Road Transfer Station in Rutland is available for use by anyone. A permit is required for hazardous waste (except paint), and will result in cheaper disposal prices for most materials. Permits are half-price, and last the rest of 2018!

Visit our website or call us with any questions about proper disposal! (802) 775-7209; www.rcswd.com

July Updates

 

Thanks to Art for keeping our recycling center running smoothly!

Kitchen trash bags (less than 30 lbs) are now $1 cheaper to dispose of at the Gleason Road Transfer Station (click link for full price list). 

 

Barry’s tomatoes are coming in! Stop by the Hazardous Waste Depot to drop off your batteries, bulbs, paint, aerosol cans, automobile fluids, and chemicals.
Additionally, our rural collection vehicle may visit your town only once more this year. Check our schedule to find out when that is.

Summertime at RCSWD

Welcome Summer!

We are busy as ever at the transfer station! FYI, our permit prices are cut in half starting July 1st, and they last until December 31, 2018. The Gleason Road Transfer station is closed on July 4th in observance of the holiday. We hope you have a happy and safe celebration!

Meanwhile, spent fireworks can go in the trash (after they have cooled down…), but unused, and dud fireworks must be dropped off at our Household Hazardous waste depot or at a town collection event!

 

Event Disposal Support

We can help make your event a low-impact event! You can save money on the disposal of materials, and show your attendees that you care. Call (802) 775-7209 to ask about your upcoming event, or email carld@rcswd.com.

Oh and one more thing…
WATERMELON RIND PICKLES anyone?

Yes, they may sound strange,but I have actually tried them myself! We all know there will be lots of leftover rinds, but if you can’t pickle them, then try to compost them at least.
Here’s a recipe!

John is glad we have food scrap collection now and uses it frequently!

Art and Joe staying busy at the recycling center, as usual!

Barry and Dominic keeping it safe at Hazardous waste.
