Recycling pickup frequency is changing! Starting Monday, July 6, recycling pickup will change from weekly to every other week.

🗓️ Your trash and recycling will be picked up on the same day, but recycling will only occur every other week.

♻️ There is NO change to your recycling containers. You can continue to use the bins you have now, but please label the contents of your containers. The Town will not be implementing automated pickup or distributing new recycling carts at this time.

Because recycling is happening every other week, you may want to consider using a bigger container or buying an additional container. Brattleboro residents can purchase additional recycling and compost bins at the Finance Department, located in Suite 111 of the Municipal Center. Recycling bins cost $15, compost bins cost $30.

⚠️ The current weekly recycling service will continue until June 30, 2026. All changes will officially begin on Monday, July 6, 2026. Recycling for the week of July 6-10 will be for those on an A WEEK pick up schedule. Residents on a B WEEK schedule will only have compost picked up that week.

🚧 Update Regarding Route 9 Traffic Delays 🚧

[Update from VTrans, June 2 @ 1pm] Due to unforeseen events, Vermont Route 9 remained reduced to a single lane of travel from the Exit 2 Interchange into West Brattleboro this morning. Traffic has been restored to two lanes of travel.

Delays in curing concrete around drainage structures rendered VT 9 unsafe to restore to two lanes of travel this morning. This has been a changing and developing situation. Crews have resolved the problem now. Traffic may take some time to clear.

This work zone was due to extenuating circumstances, only. Work will resume tonight during regularly scheduled evening hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Monday night through Friday mornings.

[Original post below]

The Town of Brattleboro would like to notify residents, commuters, and local businesses of ongoing traffic congestion and delays associated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation Route 9 paving project.

Although construction activities are currently taking place during overnight hours, temporary roadway configurations and traffic pattern changes remaining in place during daytime hours have created significant traffic slowdowns and backups along portions of the Route 9 corridor.

The Town has received multiple reports regarding daytime traffic operations, including congestion at intersections, extended vehicle queues, and delays traveling through affected areas. Town staff are actively communicating with Vermont Agency of Transportation representatives and project contractors regarding these concerns and are working collaboratively to improve daytime traffic flow and minimize disruptions to the public.

⚠️ Motorists traveling through the area should expect:
• Traffic delays during daytime hours
• Temporary lane shifts and narrowed travel lanes
• Increased congestion at intersections
• Changing traffic patterns throughout the project area


Drivers are encouraged to reduce speeds within work zones, remain alert to changing roadway conditions, and allow additional travel time when traveling through the corridor. The Town of Brattleboro appreciates the patience and cooperation of the public while this important roadway improvement project continues.

This is a state-managed project, and all construction activities are being overseen by VTrans. The Town of Brattleboro is assisting with coordination and public communication.

New look, who dis??! The time has come to celebrate this monumental, 100-year project right in the heart of Downtown Brattleboro.

The Town of Brattleboro is coming together on June 24 to celebrate the opening of a beautiful new ADA-compatible platform for the Brattleboro station of Amtrak’s Vermonter Line!

11:30-1p: Join dignitaries and Amtrak folks for the official ribbon-cutting and unveiling of a new Brattleboro Words Trail Exhibit
by Cynthia Houghton. Food, Kid’s Activities, and a peek at our shiny new train station- EXCITING!

1p: The first train arrival to the new station, we’ll welcome it in style!

2p: Of COURSE we need a mini-train situation. Head up to 139 Main Street, The Museum of Things Tiny & Found, for a model train display and teeny ribbon-cutting that’s sure to delight.

2:30 p. - The Latchis will show a train-themed film, Hugo. Suggested donation is $5.

3:30 p. - Senator Wendy Harrison will host a gathering at River & Rail Tavern with train advocates from Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. All are welcome to come hear the stories and discuss how we can promote increased train travel in our region.

6 p – Actors led by the Tiny Theater will perform “From Revolution to Reflection: Live on the Brattleboro Words Trail,” an America 250-inspired, outdoor performance at Union Station Park, which is the lawn behind the new train station (rain location at Brooks Memorial Library). More information about that can be found on brattleborowords.org.
