Where to Recycle Used Building Materials
in Chittenden County
Did you know that burning or burying construction waste can be hazardous to your health and our environment? It is also illegal!

Small quantities (less than 1 cubic yard) of used building materials are accepted as construction and demolition waste at CSWD Full Service Drop-Off Centers. The fee is based on volume. Large loads of used building materials should be taken to one of the privately-operated transfer stations. Fees are based on weight.

The materials listed below can be reused or recycled for less than the cost of landfilling. Some items are accepted for FREE! Please call in advance for prices, specifications, and locations. This is a partial listing.
