Transfer Station and Recycle Center Update:
Effective October 1, 2020 the Town will no longer be operating the Concord Transfer Station and Recycle Center. E-Z Trash, LLC, has a one (1) year contract for the trash and recycling services for the Town. Hours of operation will stay the same Tuesday 4pm to 6pm and Saturday 8am to 2pm. E-Z Trash LLC, is a full service and professional operation with 10 years of experience. Bag pricing will be set by E-Z Trash at a minimal increase per bag.
E-Z Trash only accepts regular bagged household trash. Bags must be securely tied. Please do not bring in barrels of loose trash, it must be properly bagged. This does not apply on Bulky Days. Please refer to their Facebook page for more information.
E-Z Trash will NOT be accepting tires, refrigerators, freezers, etc. These items must be taken to Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District in Lyndonville for disposal.
Bulky Waste and construction debris will be accepted on designated dates which will be posted in advance. Metal will continue to be accepted.
This is a reminder that on July 1, 2020, Vermont state law:
- bans disposal of food scraps in the trash or landfills,
- requires trash haulers to offer food scrap collection services to non-residential customers and apartments with 4 units or more, unless another hauler is willing to provide that service. Food scrap collection is also currently required by law for bag drop haulers.

Announcing the 2020 Downtown and Village Center Tax Credit Program
Vermont’s Downtown and Village Center tax credit program is one of the primary benefits of Downtown and Village Center designation, and supports revitalization in community centers across the state.
