Quick Fact:
The great Atlantic Garbage Patch sits several hundred miles off North America's coast and covers a patch of ocean roughly equivalent to the distance between Cuba and Virginia. That’s more than 1000 miles of human-created plastic and trash that kill marine life and spoil our beautiful oceans. (Source) As Green Up Day approaches (May 5th), CVSWMD would like to encourage everyone who loves Vermont and wants to keep our water, soil, and air clean to choose reusable containers, cut back on purchasing items with disposable and excess packaging, and consider where local "litter" often ends up (Lake Champlain and the Atlantic Ocean).

Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District (CVSWMD) is Vermont's second largest solid waste management district and is charged with leading our member communities to reduce waste . In 2004, we broke the mold by becoming the first such municipality on the east coast to set a Zero Waste goal. In order to achieve zero waste, we provide valuable waste management programs and services to seventeen member cities and towns in the central Vermont region to assist in proper waste disposal and reduction efforts. We are Zero Waste CentralTM !
