Why Food Scraps?

  • We are prioritizing food scraps because of the July 1 mandate for all Vermonters to manage food scraps separately from trash.
  • This drop-off location provides a convenient and economical option for Burlington residents and businesses that generate small amounts of food scraps.
  • In addition to hauler pick-up and backyard composting, the drop-off site adds another food scrap management option for the community.
  • Food scraps must be managed frequently compared to other materials.

Why is CSWD limiting materials at this site?

The site’s size limitations and the safety concerns to our staff and our customers were the main reasons for this change. Safety concerns were present before the COVID-19 pandemic but have become more acute with new physical distancing and safety protocols.

Is this change permanent? 

Though CSWD will be continually evaluating site operations, we expect this change to be for the long term. The CSWD Drop-Off Center located at 87 Landfill Rd. in South Burlington is open to the public and accepts trash and recycling and other materials.

New Site Layout 

The reorganized Pine Street site has five lanes of food scrap containers, allowing customers to pull into the site safely, easily, and efficiently. A separate area is designated for pedestrians and bicyclists.
