Northwest Vermont Solid Waste Management District

Northwest Vermont Solid Waste Management District Residents of District towns can access information about our sites and services here. Not in our district?

Stick around anyway to learn about recycling & composting best practices! The District is created and shall exist for the purpose of providing for the efficient, economical, and environmentally sound disposal and reduction of solid waste generated by member municipalities and their residents in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties of Vermont. The NWSWD achieves this goal through services and programs

offered to member communities. The District operates facilities for the collection and recycling of solid waste. We also engage in public education aimed at recycling and reducing the volume of solid waste. The District also engages in innovative projects for the purpose of recycling and disposing of unique waste in an environmentally sound manner.

NWSWD will be closed next Monday (9/7) for Labor Day. Our work resumes Tuesday, September 8, with normal hours.

Tomorrow at South Hero's Worthen Library, the Green Mountain Timekeepers will be on hand to diagnose and repair your clocks. If you need an antique timepiece repaired, this is your chance! Let's revive cherished household items rather than throwing them out.

Q: What happens to the Northwest Treasure Chest items that no one takes?
A: They're given another chance at the ReStore! Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity is a champion of reuse—just like us. Together, we're keeping household goods out of the landfill, giving "would-be waste" a new home. This week we donated 300 pounds worth!

Annual reminder that produce with personality tastes just as good 😁

Studies have found that quirky produce is less likely to be sold, so choosing the irregular veggies at grocery stores and farm stands helps prevent waste!

Alright, all you antique clock owners! We get a lot of requests for clock repair at our repair cafes, and we can't always deliver. Here's your chance!

The Vermont Green Mountain Timekeepers are a group dedicated to collecting, repairing, and selling clocks and watches. If you have a clock that’s not ticking, bring it to Worthen Library on Saturday the 29th. The Timekeepers will examine it for free and determine if it can be fixed on the spot. If it can’t be repaired immediately, they’ll provide you with a detailed assessment and let you know whether it’s worth fixing.

Did you know that mixed material items are not recyclable?

For instance, cardboard cannisters are often lined with foil or plastic--this means they belong in the trash.

Contamination is one of the reasons recycling costs money: it takes effort (by humans and machines!) to remove the trash mixed in with the recycling but some contamination slips through the system and reduces the worth of recyclable materials.
