Vermont's Universal Recycling Law

Act 148 phases out recyclables, leaf & yard debris, and food scraps from the trash statewide.

Recycling and composting are required for everyone — households, businesses, and institutions. Haulers must offer collection for these materials alongside trash.

Banned from the trash

By Vermont law, these can't go in your household garbage:

  • Food scraps & food waste
  • Recyclables (clean paper, metal, glass, plastic)
  • Leaf, yard & clean wood debris
  • Batteries, electronics & mercury items
  • Hazardous waste — paint, chemicals, oil
