The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District is one of 16 solid waste districts, partnerships, and alliances throughout the state. Under VT Act 78, these organizations are charged with developing regional solutions for proper solid waste management for member communities.
The CVSWMD is one of the three largest Districts in the state, serving 60,000 residents in 22 diverse member communities in central Vermont. Funding for District programs and services is derived from:
- a surcharge on garbage disposal in the region;
- user fees for trash and hazardous waste collections and some recyclable materials at our facilities;
- a per capita tax paid by member municipalities;
- grant funding awarded through competitive federal, state and private grant application processes;
- composting program revenue; and
- interest income.
