Recycling in White River Junction: A Local Guide
White River Junction, the commercial hub of Hartford in Windsor County, Vermont, has two recycling-related facilities listed in our directory. The two serve entirely different functions: one is a curbside-collection dispatch hub, and the other is the Upper Connecticut River Valley's main public drop-off site for recycling, solid waste, electronics, and hazardous materials.
Casella Waste Systems, at 1544 East Woodstock Road, is a hauling operations and dispatch hub — not a public walk-in facility. Casella uses this site to dispatch curbside collection trucks for residential and commercial customers across the Upper Valley. Service includes Zero-Sort single-stream recycling (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, metal cans, and glass combined in one bin), scheduled bulk-item pickup, food-waste collection, and dumpster rentals. Members of the public cannot drop off material here; service is arranged by calling (802) 295-2660 or through casella.com. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM.
The Town Recycling Transfer Center, operated by the Town of Hartford at 2590 North Hartland Road, is the area's full-service public drop-off facility. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM (scale closes at 3:30 PM, closed Monday and Sunday), it accepts sorted recyclables (paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and tin cans, plastics #1/#2/#5), scrap metal (free), electronics (Vermont-covered devices free; non-covered $9.50), batteries (household batteries free via Call2Recycle), all lightbulb types (via Veolia), paint (via PaintCare, up to 20 gallons), tires ($14.25–$23.75 each), bulky waste ($250/ton), yard waste, food scraps, propane cylinders ($15 each), and bagged household trash ($5/bag). Construction and demolition debris is not accepted. Access requires either an annual windshield permit ($30/year, first vehicle) or a $10 day pass, and is limited to Hartford town residents and GUVSWMD member-town residents.
