CVSWMD Budget

Overview

Budget Hearing October 26

CVSWMD is one of more than a dozen solid waste management entities recognized by the State of Vermont, and consists of 19 member towns.  Member towns pay a yearly assessment of $1 per resident, totaling 4% of our annual budget. CVSWMD is a union municipality, created by the General Assembly for the “purpose of providing for disposal of solid waste generated by member municipalities and their residents. The means of disposal may include collection, transportation, resource recovery, recycling, land disposal, or any combination of these[1].”
​
The largest source of CVSWMD income (71%) comes from the surcharge assessed on all solid waste generated in member communities, and paid through fees charged by commercial haulers – see Figure 1.  The second largest source of income (16%) comes from user fees for our Business Organics Program, in which we haul food scraps from businesses to local farmers and a regional composting business.  Other sources are State and Federal grants, fees on disposal of Construction/Demolition waste, user fees for processing Household Hazardous Waste, and user fees at our Additional Recyclables Collection Center in Barre.
