ST. JOHNSBURY /BURKE /HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2026


On Saturday September 26, 2026 from 8 am to 8:30 am 1 pm the, the Town of St. Johnsbury and the Town of Burke, Casella Waste Management, Inc. and the Agency of Natural Resources will be co-sponsoring a Fall Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day. This event will be held at the St Johnsbury Municipal Parking Lot on North Main Street.


So, if you are a resident in the Town of St. Johnsbury or the Town of Burke and have household hazardous waste (HHW) like pool chemicals, solvents and degreasers, oven and drain cleaners, fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lamps, old gasoline and paint thinners, you can bring up to 10 gallons of these wastes and all your pesticides, oil based and latex architectural paints and primary batteries at no charge for proper disposal. Beyond the 10 gallons or 10 pounds of solid HHW, there is a $5.00 per unit disposal fee. If you have any mercury thermostats, we will give you a coupon that can be submitted for a $5.00 rebate from the Thermostat Recycling Corporation. The thermostats have to be complete units to qualify for the rebate.


We request that small businesses and institutions which are conditionally exempt small quantity generators of hazardous waste may participate in this event. They should preregister by calling the St. Johnsbury Town Manager’s Office at 802- 748-3926 or John Malter at 802-244-7373 by September 23, 2026 and indicate the type and approximate quantity of waste you are bringing to this event to determine the cost for your disposal. Payment will be due at the time of the collection. These businesses need to be there between 8 and 8:30 am on September 26, 2026 to participate.


While you're at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection, you can visit the paint drop and swap where folks can bring good cans of paint that they don’t need and you can pick these up and use them for your painting tasks. If you have a mercury thermometer, we will swap you for a digital thermometer at the HHW event at no charge. One digital thermometer per family.


As a result of Product Stewardship Legislation dealing with architectural oil and latex paint and primary batteries, we will be able to accept all of this material at no charge during this event. We cannot accept explosives, ammunition, asbestos, propane and other compressed gas cylinders, radioactive or infectious waste, tires or electronic waste. If you are not a resident of St. Johnsbury or Burke there is a $30.00 registration fee and no free disposal of ten additional units of HHW.



If you have any questions about these activities, you can contact the St. Johnsbury Town Manager at 802-748-3926 or John Malter at 802- 244-7373.

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a Floodplain Town of St. Johnsbury, Vermont To: All interested Agencies, Groups, and Individuals The Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) intends to fund the following Proposed Action under the Catalyst Program. NBRC will prepare an 8-Step Decision-Making Process review in compliance with Executive Order (EO) 11988 (Floodplain Management), to ensure federally funded projects consider floodplain impacts and avoid unnecessary risks, as well as to avoid direct or indirect support of new construction in floodplains where there is a practicable alternative. Proposed Action: The purpose of the Proposed Action is to address the lack of a dedicated bicycle/pedestrian connection between the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) and St. Johnsbury’s Designated Downtown. The Proposed Action would enhance safety and accessibility for trail users by connecting the LVRT to the Three Rivers Path and St. Johnsbury’s downtown riverfront area to enhance recreational opportunities and promote the economic revitalization of St. Johnsbury. Specifically, the Proposed Action includes the construction of an approximately 2,600-foot-long multi-use path extension along the western side of Bay Street. Lighting would be installed along this length as well as the portion of the previously constructed path to the existing trailhead. The proposed path extension would begin at the Main Street LVRT Trailhead at 493 Main Street in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, at the approximate geographic coordinates of 44.4097081, -72.0181651. After crossing Main Street to Bay Street, the proposed path would continue along Bay Street to extend to the southern terminus of the existing Three Rivers Path just south of the Green Mountain Power (GMP) Bay Street Substation at 311 Bay Street. It has been determined by a review of Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel Number 5000310015B that portions of the Proposed Action would be located within a 100-year floodplain (Zone A7), warranting analysis under the 8-Step Decision-Making Process. Most of the land between the existing Three Rivers Path and the LVRT trailhead at Main Street lies within the 100-year floodplain of the Passumpsic River. The calculated fill volume for all new material being placed below the base flood elevation is approximately 978 cubic yards. The Proposed Action is subject to local review and approval per the Town of St. Johnsbury Flood Hazard Regulation, which includes review by the Rivers Program of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. This notice provides people who may be affected by the Proposed Action and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment with an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts.  Comments should be submitted by email to nepa@nbrc.gov . NBRC is accepting comments on this notice for 15 days from August 8, 2026 , through the end of the day of August 23, 2026 .
