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 !
Quick Fact:
Compost improves low-quality soils by adding organic matter and nutrients. Plants grown in good soil are healthier and have greater resistance to diseases and insects. By greatly reducing the need for pesticides and fertilizers, you save money and prevent pollution of our air, water, and soil.
