Universal Recycling Law - Be Compliant by the July 1st Deadline
ALL Businesses will be required to comply with landfill bans on food scraps
and
recycled products over the course of the next three years.
Larger businesses, such as supermarkets, and restaurants --are required to comply with the landfill ban on food scraps earlier than small businesses and residents, if they are located within 20 road miles of a composting facility that willingly accepts food scraps. See the Universal Recycling Timeline for details.
Hear from a panel of industry experts on the various channels of the system. They'll walk us through the changes necessary to be in compliance with Vermont law. The panel includes:
- Moderator: Josh Kelly, Department of Environmental Conservation
- Mike Casella, Casella Waste Management
- Carolyn Grodinsky, Grow Compost of Germont, LLC
- Athena Lee Bradley, Northeast Recycling Council, Inc. (NERC)
- Jason Maring, Vermont Foodbank
