Green Cone Sales Event - May 31
The Greater Upper Valley Solid Waste District is co-sponsoring a Green Cone sales event on Saturday, May 31 from 10am to 1pm at the Hartford Community Center for Recycling and Waste Management, 2590 Rte. 5 South, White River Jct. Green Cones are backyard food scrap digesters that can reduce household trash production by 20%--and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, too! See www.zwinc.org for more information. Contact Zero Waste Inc. at 802-472-5424 or info@zwinc.org to pre-order your cone for pickup at the event.


Bridge Construction is well underway - Delays on I-91 are scheduled
Temporary Delays Planned for Interstate 91

MONTPELIER √ The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) beginning May 19 will conduct a series of temporary delays along Interstate 91 just south of the I-89/I-91 interchange so that work crews can set beams for a new bridge that will cross over the roadway.

The bridge is being constructed by the Greater Upper Valley Solid Waste District, who is erecting the structure so trucks can access a new landfill from Route 5 in Hartford.

Delays along the Interstate will affect travel both north and southbound for two days and last about 15 minutes each. The first closure will begin at 9 a.m. Monday, May 19. Motorists wishing not to be delayed should seek alternate routes.

The schedule is as follows:

· Monday, May 19 at 9:00 a.m. Northbound. · Monday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. Northbound. · Monday, May 19 at 11:00 a.m. Southbound. · Monday, May 19 at 1:00 p.m. Southbound.

· Tuesday, May 20 at 9:00 a.m. Northbound. · Tuesday, May 20 at 10:00 a.m. Northbound. · Tuesday, May 20 at 11:00 a.m. Southbound. · Tuesday, May 20 at 1:00 p.m. Southbound.
