CSWD partners with local and state organizations to offer a variety of community programs that have an end goal of saving energy, reducing waste and minimizing the carbon footprint of a community–including the town offices.

Technical Assistance

To make it easy for municipalities to comply with VT ACT 148: Universal Recycling Law, and CSWD’s Solid Waste Management Ordinance, CSWD offers suggested language which can be added to town/village/city permit applications for special events.

Grant Opportunities

CSWD offers thousands of dollars in grant funding annually to help Chittenden County communities, businesses, institutions and not-for-profit organizations keep more resources out of the landfill and meet State and CSWD requirements.

The Community Cleanup Fund provides annual grants to communities in Chittenden County to clean up local problem areas.

The Recycling & Composting Container Grant helps members comply with their legal responsibility to provide a recycling receptacle next to every publicly accessible trash receptacle.

The Waste Reduction Project Grant provides grants for projects that reduce or eliminate solid waste at its source, or increase diversion of mandatory recyclables and compostables from the landfill.
