A Note about the Revised Ordinance

​The revised ordinance includes changes regarding delinquent surcharge fees and about those in violation of the ordinance.  Please note that being delinquent on surcharge fees is a violation of the ordinance. 
  • When a hauler is late paying surcharge fees, they may not be notified of delinquency.  
  • "Haulers that are delinquent on surcharges of greater than 90 days shall be subject to a Vermont Civil Violation pursuant to 24 V.S.A. §1974a of not more than $800". The fine of up to $800 applies per day while the violation persists.
  • Those who receive a Vermont Civil Violation can still make an appeal, but now it will be made to the Vermont Judicial Bureau instead of the CVSWMD Board of Supervisors.
 
Please read the ordinance.

 VT Information and Requirements for Waste Haulers

Food Scrap Collection

As of 2020, commercial haulers must offer separate collection of food scraps to non-residential customers and to apartment buildings with four or more residential units and deliver them to a processing location such as a composting or anaerobic digestion facility. Commercial haulers are not required to offer collection of food scraps if another commercial hauler provides food scrap collection services in the same area and has sufficient capacity to provide service to all customers.
