🥕🍓June is Upcycled Food Month! 🥑🍎
We all have a certain idea of food that can be eaten and food that should be thrown away. But a lot of food "scraps" can actually be transformed in the kitchen into delicious food. From carrot top pesto and sauteed beet greens, to roasted pumpkin seeds and candied orange peels! 🍴

Happy Juneteenth! All facilities are closed today. The Organics Recycling Facility is open for drop-off only.

School’s out! 📚🎓 Which usually means backpacks, lockers, and desks are getting the end-of-year cleanout treatment.

If you have old books, notebooks, or planners, consider donating them if they're still in usable condition. If you're looking to dispose of them, don’t toss them in blue-bin recycling! Bring them to any CSWD Drop-Off Center and place them in the designated book totes for proper recycling. ♻️

Composting does more than cut household waste — it keeps food scraps out of landfill, reduces greenhouse gases, and turns organics into nutrient‑rich soil for gardens, lawns, and farms. It can feel confusing, but whether you have a yard or a small apartment, there’s a composting option that works for you. ♻️🌱

In today’s “Binspiration” we’re highlighting Husky Technologies. Their staff cantina delivers restaurant‑level food and service — and an outstanding five‑star commitment to waste reduction. From employees grabbing lunch to kitchen staff behind the scenes, everyone helps keep food out of the trash and recyclables in the right place. Thank you, Husky! ♻️👏

Last May Burlington High joined the state-funded SCRAPI program (School Compost & Recycling Action Plan Institute) . Since then BHS and the Green Up Club have worked with CSWD and VT DEC to run three waste audits to guide planning for the new school. With clearer signage and volunteer cafeteria monitors, compost collection is up, recycling contamination is down 33%, and more edible food is being saved. CSWD and VT DEC will continue supporting BHS as they refine materials management ahead of the move this fall—great progress to be proud of!
