Drugs - What a Waste!
At the Windham Solid Waste Management District (WSWMD), we get a lot of calls regarding the best way to dispose of pharmaceutical waste. This includes expired, unused, spilt and contaminated pharmaceutical products, drugs and vaccines. Historically, the hospital incinerators and sewers were the common and simple methods for waste disposal. Today, incinerators are less common and we’re finding out that it’s not cool to flush your drugs down the toilet.

The Windham Solid Waste Management District is not slaughtering the residential COW program as expected. We will continue to subsidize Project COW until further notice. This is a great opportunity for local residents to compost their household food and low-grade paper waste!

Safe Plastic: A Reality Check
Myth: The recycling arrow on a plastic container means it’s recyclable.
Reality: Just because the container is stamped with a recycling symbol, this does not mean it’s recyclable. Commonly, only #1 and #2 with narrow necks are recyclable. Some communities do recycle other plastics so check with your local waste disposal company or municipality.
