Recycling in Canaan: A Local Guide
Canaan, a rural town in Essex County in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, has two distinct recycling and waste facilities. Together they cover both household solid-waste disposal with robust recycling options and Vermont Bottle Bill container redemption for area residents.
Canaan Transfer Station at 186 Treatment Plant Road (phone: 802-266-3370) is the Town of Canaan's municipally operated drop-off facility, open Wednesday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM, Friday 12:00 PM–6:00 PM, and Saturday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM. Canaan residents can dispose of household trash under a pay-per-bag sticker program (50 cents per bag), and drop off sorted recyclables (aluminum cans, tin cans, cardboard, paper), scrap metal, motor oil, oil filters, fluorescent bulbs, tires (car and light-truck up to 24 inches, rims removed, $3–$6 each), and electronics at no charge through Vermont's E-Cycles program. Two annual Household Hazardous Waste collection events are held on-site each year (first weekend in May, second weekend in September). A seasonal Stump Dump on the property accepts yard debris and clean wood on Saturdays from May through October. Use is restricted to Canaan residents; attendant direction is required for metals, C&D, tires, and electronics containers.
Beecher Falls Beverage & Redemption Center in the Beecher Falls village (22 River Road per the Vermont DEC registry; phone: 802-266-3650) is a state-certified redemption center under Vermont's Bottle Bill. It accepts empty deposit containers — beer, malt beverages, wine coolers, carbonated soft drinks, sparkling water and carbonated juices, carbonated sports and energy drinks, spirit-added ready-to-drink beverages, and liquor — and pays the consumer 5 cents per eligible container (15 cents for liquor/spirits). Hours are not published online; call 802-266-3650 before visiting. Non-carbonated beverages, wine, and hard cider are not covered by Vermont's deposit law.
