It is comprised of 19 towns who have joined together to cooperatively manage their solid waste in rural southeastern VT. Presently, the WSWMD manages the only publicly owned and operated Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in VT.

The WSWMD was formed in 1988. At that time, only eight towns were members of the District. These towns cooperatively managed a 30 acre landfill.
In 1995, federally mandated landfill operation regulations forced WSWMD to seek alternative landfill sites or an alternative to landfill disposal. After much debate, WSWMD opted to get out of the landfill business and start recycling.
