The Brattleboro, Vermont-based Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) has announced it has been awarded a contract by Bennington County Regional Commission (BCRC) to provide training, technical assistance and outreach for its communities.
The project, conducted on behalf of Vermont-based BCRC for the Bennington County Solid Waste Alliance (BCSWA), will focus on raising awareness of the recycling, food waste diversion and toxics requirements under Vermont’s Universal Recycling Law.
BCSWA has 13 member towns located in Southwest Vermont, including: Arlington, Bennington, Dorset, Glastenbury, Manchester, Pownal, Rupert, Sandgate, Searsburg, Shaftsbury, Stamford, Sunderland and Woodford. The region has 35,060 residents, 25 schools and more than 1,700 businesses.
NERC says the contract will allow the council to assist BCSWA in the implementation of its Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP) adopted in 2015. NERC will conduct waste assessment surveys of targeted schools, businesses and institutions, providing training, technical assistance and resource development in recycling, as well as food waste reduction, recovery and composting, as appropriate. NERC also will outreach on the proper storage and disposal of hazardous materials.
