Now that we finally have some warmer weather, be sure to remember your composting ratio...

3 parts "browns" or carbon-rich materials like straw, hay, small woody materials, dead leaves, and paper

1 part "greens" or nitrogen-rich materials like food scraps, grass, and manures

And remember, no meat, fish, bones, or dairy in your backyard compost piles!

Consider using less-toxic cleaning products.

Lots of common household cleaners contain hazardous ingredients— these can be damaging to the environment and to human health, which is why they get disposed of as hazardous waste. Alternatives exist to hazardous household cleaners, and they are simple to make. Check out these slides with some simple, non-toxic cleaner recipes.

Any household hazardous waste can be disposed of at the HazWaste Center, co-located at the District Transfer Station in Middlebury. Unsure if you have hazardous waste? Look for warning labels or call us for advice at (802) 388-2333.

It’s required for all facilities and haulers in Addison County to collect the “mandated recyclables.” The “mandated recyclables” are banned from trash disposal: glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and jugs, boxboard, corrugated cardboard, magazines, aluminum and steel cans, aluminum foil and pie plates, and paper.

More than just the mandated recyclables are accepted in curbside collection systems. For help answering any recycling questions, look at the District’s A-Z Guide at AddisonCountyRecycles.org/guide. If you are still confused, feel free to call the District at (802) 388-2333 for help or email [email protected].

Packaging is often confusing for folks, as not everything with a recycling symbol can go in one's blue bin. We at the District are here to help answer questions on all things recycling.
