Solid Waste Implementation Plan

The CVSWMD Solid Waste Plan: Working Toward Zero Waste

The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District developed a new Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP) to comply with the state of Vermont’s new plan. The SWIP expresses the District’s vision for this region and will guide all solid waste programming and planning for the foreseeable future.

We solicited public input to ensure that this document represents the CVSWMD member towns and residents. To help gather this information, we held six public hearings on the draft Plan, and took public comment during our regular meetings of the District board of supervisors. In addition, we encouraged District towns and residents to offer input on draft sections of the Plan as they were developed.

The completed Plan was sent to the state May 1, 2003 and was approved by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources in April 2006.
