How CSWD is funded

CSWD funding comes from three main sources:

Fees collected at CSWD facilities for disposal of trash, hazardous waste and other specific items.
A solid waste management fee collected on each ton of trash generated in CSWD.
Revenue received from the material processed and sold by the Materials Recovery Facility (recyclables), Green Mountain Compost (compost products), the Local Color Paint program, and through sales of special materials such as scrap metal managed through our Drop-Off Centers.

Variable funding is also received via grants from the State of Vermont and reimbursements for Product Stewardship programs.
