CONTACT: Brian Sales, Outreach Coordinator- outreach@rcswd.com, (802) 775-7209
In order to comply with the Act 148 Universal Recycling Law, there are a few things you must do before hosting your event. Give us a call, or read on below to find out how we can help!
Recycle
- Recyclables were banned from the landfill in 2015 so you must sort them out from the trash
- Keep a blue bin (or any bin) next to the trash and CLEARLY label it ‘Recycling”
- The person or organization who puts on the event is responsible for recycling
- Click here for signage and here to receive more information on recyclables
Food Waste
- Food scraps will not be banned from the landfills until 2020, but it is still a good idea to have a bin at an event for food scraps if you have a reliable source to bring them to
- For bigger events, create a three bin system and CLEARLY label the bucket ‘Food Scraps’
- For smaller events, simply put a bucket next to the trash and recycling with the label ‘Food Scraps’
- The person or organization who puts on the event is responsible for food scraps
