About This Location

The Hinesburg Drop-Off Center is one of the Chittenden Solid Waste District's (CSWD) smaller neighborhood sites, tucked on Beecher Hill Road just off Route 116. Residents and small businesses can drop off blue-bin recycling, bagged household trash, food scraps and yard waste, plus a surprisingly deep list of special materials - batteries, electronics, clothing, books, scrap metal, propane tanks and shredded paper - two days a week. Because the lot is compact, no trailers, oversized items or large loads are accepted here, and a flat $1 facility fee applies to every visit.
