Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Vermont

Vermont has no county-run dumps in the usual sense. Solid waste districts and towns run transfer stations and drop-off centers, most of them charging by the bag, container size or sticker, and Vermont's only operating landfill (NEWS VT in Coventry) is run by Casella. Many town sites open only one or two days a week and require a town permit or residency.
