Middlesex Cleans Tire Dump

The town of Middlesex took control of an illegal tire dump this month, cleaning up and responsibly disposing of hundreds of illegally dumped tires, thanks to funding from the CVSWMD Municipal Assistanse Grant, which is designed to help municipalities reduce waste. Way to go Middlesex!

2013 Hazardous Waste Collections
We will be conducting six special collections throughout our district towns this year, starting in early May. Click here to see the complete list. This year, we are combining collections, so at several events we will collect e-waste, books and textiles in addition to hazardous waste. As always, liquid latex paint can be brought to the ARCC for reblending and reusing. 

What to Recycle

Did you know that recycling is mandatory in Central Vermont? And soon it will be required throughout Vermont as part of Act 148 which phases in mandatory recycling by 2015, and composting by 2020. Click here to see a complete list of what to recycle. Want to do more? Check out our ARCC page for a list of additional recyclables we collect.

A Zero Waste Independence Day!

We're excited to announce that CVSWMD has partnered with Montpelier Alive to bring the Capital City's largest celebration (on July 3) toward Zero Waste this year. Look for our Zero Waste Stations on both sides of state street, where we will help festival-goers separate their trash into recyclables, compost, additional recyclables, and actual trash. Both CVSWMD and Montpelier Alive still need volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer some of your time on July 3, contact Jessica Ball at volunteer@montpelieralive.org or at 808.343.0950
or ... Sign up now!
