Vermont needs more local composting options! Our state is a trailblazer in keeping food out of the landfill. Even better, we are fundamentally shifting the way we collectively view food scraps. Beginning July 1, 2020, all Vermonters must keep food scraps out of their trash.

In this VORS 2020 webinar, our panelists share how they are helping residents capture food scraps in ways that are both helpful and convenient for the resident, while boosting economic development in their communities.
