Recycling in Springfield: A Local Guide
Springfield has 3 recycling facilities in our Vermont directory, spanning a transfer station, the town recycling center, and a bottle-redemption center. Springfield belongs to the Southern Windsor/Windham Counties Solid Waste Management District, which coordinates recycling and household-hazardous-waste collection for member towns. Under Vermont's Universal Recycling Law, blue-bin recyclables and food scraps are banned from the trash statewide, so transfer stations here accept single-stream recycling and food scraps alongside household trash.
For drop-off, the Cavendish Transfer Station accepts single-stream recycling (glass, cans, paper, cardboard, rigid plastics #1-7), food scraps, scrap metal, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, tires, refrigerators and AC units, and construction debris — generally for residents. The Springfield Recycling Center on Fairground Rd and the Springfield Redemption Center for bottle deposits round out the local options. Check each center's page to confirm what it accepts.
