ABOUT US

The Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District (LRSWMD) is comprised of 12 member towns; each community either appoints or elects a representative to serve on the Board of Supervisors. LRSWMD guides member communities towards compliance with Vermont state solid waste regulations, hosts collection facilities and a commercial composting operation, provides annual household hazardous waste collections, delivers outreach and education on materials management in LRSWMD communities, offers free use of collection receptacles for community events, and sells recycling and composting bins at subsidized costs. 

LRSWMD MISSION 
To reduce the quantity and toxicity of trash generated and going to the landfill while maintaining or improving overall environmental quality (air, water, and soil), treating customers and employees with respect, and operating within a balanced budget.

FACILITIES
LRSWMD operates five drop-off locations (Craftsbury, Johnson, Morrisville, Stowe, Worcester), a commercial composting facility, Lamoille Soil, located in Johnson, and an administrative office located in Morrisville. The administrative office does not accept waste. Drop-off facility services vary by location but, at a minimum, include bagged trash for disposal, mixed recycling, and organics collection. Management of other difficult-to-dispose-of items like tires, electronic waste, and appliances are also provided at several locations. Each site is somewhat unique in what types and how each material is managed. Click here for hours, locations, and materials info for each site.
