Hartford ends curbside recycling program

WCAX · last updated

HARTFORD, Vt. (WCAX) — The town of Hartford is ending its curbside recycling program at the end of the month.

All Hartford residents were eligible for the free program, but the town declined to sign onto a new contract with Casella, citing the increased cost.

Residents will now have to bring their recycling to the town’s transfer station or the recycling center in nearby Lebanon, New Hampshire.

“We hope that the transition is a lot more smooth than their feelings at the moment. You know, it is discombobulating for people to have to change, but it is kind of the way it is in our world today,” said Hartford Selectboard member Mary Erdei.

 The town’s transfer station will be open additional hours to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

 The town recently sent out a postcard to all residents notifying them of the upcoming change.
