Brattleboro, VT – Windham Solid Waste Management District (WSWMD) is pleased to announce that they received a grant of $37,910.00 for operation of their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Depot from the state of Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, a division of the Agency of Natural Resources.
The WSWMD HHW collection depot accepts hazardous waste, special waste and waste banned from landfills from households and small businesses in their member communities. These funds are used to subsidize the actual cost for these services and allow WSWMD to charge users a more nominal fee of $15.00.
The WSWMD HHW depot is open seasonally on Tues day mornings starting May 13 to the end of October. Acceptable materials include bleach and other household cleaners, antifreeze, old fuel, insecticides and herbicides to name a few.
Appointments for the HHW depot are available by calling WSWMD at (802)257-0272 or preferably online at windhamsolidwaste.org
This grant is provided by the State of Vermont to assist Solid Waste Districts to implement their solid waste plans, as required by state planning law.
