What can go in the Dumpster

After a flood event, most debris can be disposed of in one container. Flood-damaged recyclables or food waste can be thrown away in the trash. Please see the list of special care items and be sure to read full guidance details from our partners at the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
DO NOT PUT THESE ITEMS IN DUMPSTERS
• Dangerous wastes such as toxics, pesticides, explosives, gasoline, oil, pool chemicals, acids, drain cleaner, fireworks, flares, ammo, and unprotected “sharps”
• Oil, brake cleaner, other toxic car products
• Paint, stain, varnish, paint thinner/stripper
• Propane cylinders, other gas cylinders
• Hazardous Waste
• Batteries
• Electronics
• Mercury products such as fluorescent bulbs, thermostats, and
• Thermometers
• Tires
BE SAFE
• Wear sturdy gloves and boots
• Use eye protection and N95 masks in dusty spaces.
• Handle household chemicals with care.
• Secure materials from children and pets.
• If an item is leaking, place the container in a pail.
• Do not mix chemicals or pour them on the ground.
• Do not attempt retrieving waterway debris in high waters
• Always face traffic when working on roadsides
• Wear bright colors
• Check for ticks after working in tall grass
• Needles and sharps should be put in a thick plastic container, taped shut, and marked “Do Not Recycle”
