BARRE – The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District’s Additional Recyclables Collection Center (ARCC) is reopening November 27.
After spending the last four months assessing damages, ordering new equipment, and cleaning away the debris from the July flood, the ARCC will be opening its doors to the public on Monday, November 27. Stop by on reopening week (November 27 to December 1) to receive $1.50 off each recycling total.
ARCC is located at 540 North Main Street, and will be open Monday to Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch) and every third Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The list of items accepted has changed. Due to various factors such as capacity, staff time, and the lack of a current market for certain materials, the collection of items has been prioritized.
These items include batteries (household, automotive, lead acid, up to 11 lb. and 300Wh); computers and computer peripherals (monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, speakers, routers); damaged and swollen lithium-ion batteries (up to 11lb. or 300Wh); documents for shredding; electronics; fire extinguishers; fluorescent bulbs and tubes; food scraps and cooking oil; mercury thermostats and other mercury devices; non-wooden stereo speakers; PCB ballasts (removed from fixtures); plastic film; propane tanks; paints, stains, and sealers (household); scrap metal (up to one foot); smoke alarms; textiles; and TVs; vacuums (upright).
