About This Location

The CSWD Drop-Off Center in Hinesburg is a public, self-serve recycling and waste drop-off facility operated by the Chittenden Solid Waste District at 907 Beecher Hill Road. Open every Wednesday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., it is one of CSWD's two smallest sites and serves residents and small businesses throughout Chittenden County—no membership or proof of residency required. Visitors can drop off blue-bin recyclables, food scraps and yard waste (organics), trash, select hazardous waste items (motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, thermostats), and special materials including batteries, books, clothing & textiles, electronics, propane tanks, scrap metal, and shredded paper. Because of the site's compact footprint, trailers and large loads are not permitted, and no large items such as mattresses or appliances are accepted here. An important access note: the upper section of Beecher Hill Road (from the North Road side) is currently closed, so the facility must be approached via Route 116.
