​Reduce Food Waste

Act 148 (Vermont’s Universal Recycling & Composting Law, passed unanimously in 2012) requires all organic material – like food scraps and other food waste – to be diverted from the landfill by 2020.

Disposing of Batteries

​All of your batteries and cell phones can be recycled and kept out of the trash. Please DO NOT add them to  your regular recycling. Some types can self combust if not prepared properly.
​Visit www.Call2Recycle.org/vermont to find a convenient drop-off location and get answers
​to your battery recycling questions, or call the GUV office at (802) 674-4474.
