STICKERS
You must be a RESIDENT of Chittenden to use the facilities at the Transfer Station. Residents must display a "sticker" on their vehicle to utilize the transfer station. Each vehicle must display a sticker in the passenger side window. Stickers are available at the Town Clerk's office for a fee of $5 each.
TRANSFER STATION FEE SCHEDULE
Currently, residents are not charged a direct fee to dispose of trash or recycle at the Chittenden Transfer Station. Disposal and recycling costs are covered through property taxes paid by the taxpayers in Chittenden. With the cost of $73.75 per ton for compactor removal, any material that can be diverted from the compactor will be a savings to the taxpayer.
Chittenden residents have been recycling for many years, and each year the volume of waste increases that gets recycled. Each pound that is recycled is one less pond that the town does not have to pay a premium price to dispose of. There is a hauling fee and processing fee for recyclables. These fees are much less than what would be paid if they were taken to a landfill or incinerator. Canussa - Hersmann, located in St. Albans, Vermont, picks up all the paper products, with the exception of boxboard, and pays the town for it.

Yard Waste -Composting	In a rural community such as Chittenden, most people have a garden that would flourish with home composting. It is a simple process, and it doesn't have to smell or attract unwanted creatures. Food waste takes up a lot of space in the roll-off container, and add to unnecessary tonnage. Why pay a lot of money to get rid of something that recycles so easily? If you live in an apartment or don't have space to compost, maybe a friend, landlord, or neighbor would be willing to take your compostable material. Ask around. For more information on composting check out the Composting section on this website.
