We are  a union municipal district dedicated to providing solid waste management authority, services, and planning to its Member Towns. ​We serve a population base of 18,000 residents and have an approved solid waste implementation plan.  GUVSWD currently generates approximately 9,500 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year, most of which is transported to the Lebanon Landfill in New Hampshire.  

​
The District was chartered in 1990 and currently represents ten Vermont towns:
  • ​Bridgewater
  • Hartland
  • Norwich
  • Pomfret
  • Sharon
  • Strafford
  • Thetford
  • Vershire
  • West Fairlee
  • Woodstock

Board of Supervisors

The GUVSWD Board of Supervisors is comprised of appointees from each member town's municipal government. See Article II of the GUVSWD Charter for details.  Meetings are held at Tracy Hall in Norwich at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and are open to the public.
