About Earth Waste System
Earth Waste System sits in Castleton, Vermont, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Public records do not list which material types the yard accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing and hours of operation aren't recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
