Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District (CVSWMD) is one of Vermont's sixteen solid waste management districts 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 our 17 member cities and towns in the central Vermont region to assist in proper waste disposal and reduction efforts. We are Zero Waste CentralTM !
