As of July 1, 2020, food waste will be banned from disposal in Vermont. The move, according to the Rutland Herald, is part of the state’s eight-year plan of sending less waste to landfill.
In 2012, Vermont passed a Universal Recycling Law, which implemented a gradual ban of recyclables from the waste stream in 2015 and then food scraps in 2020. However, according to the report, more needs to be done to make these goals a reality.
