Here’s a closer look at the fee and the impact of its increase:
The fee supports a number of CSWD programs, including education, hazardous waste management, recycling, composting, research and development, enforcement, and management of solid waste in Chittenden County.

• The potential impact on residents of the proposed increase amounts to an average of $4.45 per household per year.
• CSWD collects the fee from commercial haulers for each ton of trash they collect in Chittenden County that will be landfilled. Whether haulers increase rates for curbside collection of residential and commercial trash as a result of the fee increase is up to each hauler. For customers who haul their own trash to CSWD’s Drop-Off Centers, the prorated fee is included in the price CSWD charges to accept trash.
• The last time the fee increased was in 2009, when it was raised from $17.61 to $22.06.

If you have any questions about the amended Solid Waste Management Ordinance prior to the public hearing, please contact CSWD’s General Manager Tom Moreau at 872-8100 x209 or tmoreau[at]cswd[dot]net.
