ANNOUNCEMENTS
The large compactor install at the Stowe transfer station has been RESCHEDULED for mid September. We will announce site work dates soon. The Stowe transfer station will remain fully operational until further notice.
The Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District is currently updating its
Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP).
The SWIP is used to outline and fulfill the requirements of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Materials Management Plan (MMP), formerly known as the State Solid Waste Plan. The purpose of the MMP is to "provide a framework for the State and its citizens to prevent waste from being generated and expand reuse, recycling, and composting efforts to attain Vermont's statewide goals over the next 5 years".
The 2025 SWIP update will:
· Outline local actions and develop a timeline for those actions that will be undertaken to satisfy the requirements of the Vermont Materials Management Plan.
· Calculate the local disposal rates for the region, including total disposal rate per capita and the overall waste disposal rate.
· List all existing Solid Waste Facilities and other locations where the public can dispose of landfill banned waste items and outline the citing criteria for new Solid Waste Facilities in the region.
· List and summarize local ordinances pertaining to solid waste management and waste hauling.
· Conform with the Regional Plan and local emergency management plans.
· Contact information for all solid waste haulers and a list of services they provide.
A draft has been pre-approved by the VT Agency of Natural Resources and two public meetings will be held to receive community feedback. The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 9th at 6:30PM and a date for the second meeting will be announced soon.
