The Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District is currently updating its
Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP).

The SWIP is used to outline and fulfill the requirements of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Materials Management Plan (MMP), formerly known as the State Solid Waste Plan. The purpose of the MMP is to "provide a framework for the State and it's citizens to prevent waste from being generated and expand reuse, recycling, and composting efforts to attain Vermont's statewide goals over the next 5 years".

The 2025 SWIP update will:

· Outline local actions and develop a timeline for those actions that will be undertaken to satisfy the requirements of the Vermont Materials Management Plan.

· Calculate the local disposal rates for the region, including total disposal rate per capita and the overall waste disposal rate.

· List all existing Solid Waste Facilities and other locations where the public can dispose of landfill banned waste items and outline the citing criteria for new Solid Waste Facilities in the region.

· List and summarize local ordinances pertaining to solid waste management and waste hauling.

· Conform with the Regional Plan and local emergency management plans.

· Contact information for all solid waste haulers and a list of services they provide.

Two public meetings will be held to receive community feedback on the SWIP. Dates will be announced when the draft has been pre-approved by the VT Agency of Natural Resources.

Meetings will be held at the LRSWMD Administrative office at 29 Sunset Drive, Suite #5 in Morrisville and via Zoom.

A copy of the Draft SWIP will also be available to view on our website after it has been reviewed by the Board of Supervisors.
