Recycling in Vergennes: A Local Guide
Vergennes, Vermont's smallest city, sits in Addison County on the eastern shore of Otter Creek. Two recycling-related businesses serve residents here: a walk-in bottle redemption center on Main Street and a full-service junk removal and curbside recycling company dispatched across the county.
Vergennes Redemption Center at 15 Main Street handles Vermont Bottle Bill returns — bring in your empty deposit-bearing beverage containers and collect your 5-cent refund per bottle or can, or 15 cents per liquor or spirits bottle over 50 mL. Accepted containers include beer, hard seltzer, carbonated soft drinks, sparkling water, and mixed wine or spirit drinks that bear the Vermont redemption marking. Water, juice, milk, and non-carbonated drinks are not deposit-eligible. The center has no official website and hours vary, so call (802) 877-6768 before visiting.
JR & Sons Junk Removal, headquartered at 63 School Street, is not a public drop-off — the School Street address is the company office. JR & Sons dispatches crews throughout Addison County for residential and commercial junk removal, appliance and mattress disposal, brush-pile removal, roll-off dumpster rental (10-, 15-, and 20-yard), and scheduled curbside trash, recycling, and compost pickup. Office hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–12 PM; all services are scheduled, so call (802) 735-9760 or visit jrsonsjunk.com to arrange a pickup.
