It's been a long recovery, but we're almost there: the Additional Recyclables Collection Center is reopening on Monday, November 27th!
We're looking forward to welcoming our community back into the facility. Stop by and visit us during our reopening week (November 27 - December 1) to receive $1.50 off of your total!
As a reminder, the ARCC is located at 540 North Main Street in Barre, and it will be open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:30am - 5:30pm (closed from 1 - 2pm for lunch) and every third Saturday of the month from 9am - 1pm.
Please note that the list of items we will be accepting has changed. Due to various factors such as capacity, staff time, and the lack of a current market for certain materials, we have made the difficult decision to prioritize the collection of items that are most important to divert from the landfill. These items include:
Batteries (household - up to 11 lb. and 300Wh, automotive, lead acid)
Computers and computer peripherals (monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, speakers, routers)
Damaged & Swollen Lithium-Ion Batteries (up to 11lb or 300Wh)
Documents for shredding
Electronics
Fire extinguishers
Fluorescent bulbs and tubes
Food scraps and cooking oil
Mercury thermostats and other mercury devices
Non-wooden stereo speakers
PCB ballasts (removed from fixtures)
Plastic film
Propane tanks
Paints, stains, and sealers (household)
Scrap metal (up to 4 ft)
Smoke alarms
Textiles
TVs
Vacuums (upright)
Although you can no longer bring other previously accepted items to the ARCC, there may still be special recycling options for some of these materials. For a complete guide on how to dispose of the ARCC items that have been discontinued, please visit our Discontinued ARCC Items Disposal Guide on our website.
