Vermont bans tires, electronics, mercury thermostats, paint, batteries, and other designated wastes from landfills under product stewardship laws administered by the Agency of Natural Resources. Producers must operate statewide free take-back programs serving every Vermont resident.
Vermont has enacted multiple product stewardship laws applying statewide: e-waste (10 V.S.A. § 7551), mercury thermostats (10 V.S.A. § 7106), paint (10 V.S.A. § 6671), primary batteries, and single-use beverage containers under the bottle bill (10 V.S.A. § 1521). Producers must fund collection and recycling at no cost to consumers. Tires and appliances are banned from landfills under 10 V.S.A. § 6621a. Local transfer stations must accept these items, and statewide drop-off networks operate continuously.
Improper landfill disposal of banned bulk items: civil penalties up to $25,000 per occurrence; haulers may refuse pickup.
