Vermont Business Magazine The Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD) is inviting public input on its draft 2025 Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP), which guides how the District will help meet the goals of Vermont’s Materials Management Plan (MMP) and Act 148, the state’s recycling and composting law.
Every five years, CSWD updates its SWIP to put state and district priorities into action. The draft plan outlines strategies to:
- Reduce overall waste generation
- Promote reuse and recycling
- Expand composting opportunities
- Ensure safe hazardous waste management
- Educate residents, businesses, and institutions about responsible waste practices
Public input is vital in shaping the plan. Two public hearings are scheduled at the CSWD Administrative Office at 19 Gregory Drive, Suite 204, in South Burlington. A remote option is available as well:
- Tuesday, September 24, 2025, 6-8pm
- Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 6-8pm
Community members who cannot attend are encouraged to share comments through the online feedback form, available on the CSWD website. Feedback is due by October 24, 2025.
