In this VORS 2021 webinar, CSWD’s Rhonda Mace provides an overview of the food scrap management landscape in Chittenden County. She touches on the myriad options for how Chittenden County residents and businesses can comply with the food scrap diversion requirements of VT’s Universal Recycling Law (Act 148), including: food recovery/waste prevention, onsite management (garbage disposals, grinders, dehydrators, backyard and community-scale composting and digesting), feeding animals, drop-off options, curbside pickup, and - importantly - where those organics may end up depending on the option chosen.

Rhonda shares where to find more information about each option and gives an overview of current licensed food scrap haulers in Chittenden County. CSWD's Michele Morris rounds out the session by moderating Q&A.
