Recycling in Brattleboro: A Local Guide
Brattleboro, Vermont — the commercial hub of Windham County and one of the state's most storied small cities — is served by three recycling and waste facilities operating at 36 Noahs Lane, 437 Vernon Street, and 112 Mercury Drive. Together they cover Vermont's bottle deposit redemption, construction debris disposal, and general junk removal with recycling drop-off.
Putney Road Redemption Center at 36 Noahs Lane (off Putney Road) has been a Brattleboro landmark for over 30 years. Under Vermont's bottle deposit law, every qualifying carbonated beverage — soda, beer, and certain liquor bottles — carries a 5-cent deposit when purchased in-state. Putney Road Redemption pays that deposit back in cash when you return your clean, empty containers. No appointment needed; just show up Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM or Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM. The center is closed Sundays. Customers can also opt to donate their deposit refund to local charities. The location also serves as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer for truck and trailer rentals.
Casella Waste Systems operates a permitted transfer station at 437 Vernon Street, open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to noon. This facility accepts construction and demolition (C&D) waste only — it is not a recycling drop-off for household items. Residential and commercial loads of lumber, drywall, and demolition debris are consolidated here for transport. Fees are posted at the scale house; call 802-683-3984 for current rates. Casella also provides separate curbside recycling collection throughout Brattleboro, accepting single-stream recyclables including paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass, aluminum cans, and tin cans at the curb.
Goodenough Rubbish Removal at 112 Mercury Drive is a family-owned operation serving all of Windham County with garbage and junk removal, paper recycling and document shredding, recycling drop-off, and dumpster rental (8-yard to 30-yard open roll-offs). The facility has been reported open daily including weekends, but hours can vary — call 802-257-4937 before visiting to confirm. They serve both residential and commercial customers, making them a practical option for anyone needing dumpster rental or bulk junk pickup across the Brattleboro area.
