Berry Baskets
This item is banned from disposal in the trash in Vermont and must be recycled with blue-bin recycling.
Disposal Options
Fiber (paper) baskets can be recycled in your blue bin, as long as they are clean with no berry residue. If they are soiled, they can be composted at home or placed in the trash. Baskets made of natural wood may be brought to the District Transfer Station to be recycled as clean wood. Wooden berry baskets must be held together with staples only (no glue) and must not contain any particle board or material other than natural wood. Clementine boxes, for example, should be placed in the trash because they contain components of plywood.
