Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drop off regular trash or recycling at the CVSWMD office in Berlin?
No. The 300 Granger Road site is the district office and the Eco Depot hazardous-waste drop-off, not a general transfer station. For everyday trash and single-stream recycling, use a transfer station in one of the district's member towns.
What does the CVSWMD Eco Depot accept?
The Eco Depot takes household hazardous waste: paints and solvents, automotive fluids, aerosols, cleaners, drain openers, fuels, adhesives, and broken mercury devices. It does not accept ammunition, explosives, medical waste, radioactive material, or unknown hazardous waste.
Do I need an appointment, and what items shouldn't go in a landfill?
Yes, the Eco Depot is appointment only. Residential appointments are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and the third Saturday; businesses are Tuesday and Thursday. Hazardous items like paints, solvents, fuels, and mercury devices should never go to a landfill and are exactly what the Eco Depot handles.
How much does it cost to use the Eco Depot?
Household hazardous waste is priced by volume: $2 for under a gallon, $15 for 1-10 gallons, and $30 for 10-20 gallons for in-district residents, with slightly higher out-of-district rates. Businesses are charged at cost plus 20 percent.
