Upper Valley Waste Management Agency's (UVWMA) HW collections contractor Clean Earth will mobilize for the temporary event, collect and dispose of HW dropped off by the public. UVWMA pays a flat fee for mobilization dependent upon the number of cars that use the event. Businesses will schedule appointments and pay disposal costs for their materials, residents are not charged a fee and are not required to schedule appointments. UVWMA will pay for HW disposed of by residents.
Electronic waste will be collected by UVDS and document shredding will be provided by a third-party vendor of UVDS during the hazardous waste event. The electronic waste collection and document shredding are one of the three times per year events provided by UVDS at no additional cost per the franchise agreement. The electronic waste collection and document shredding will be for residents only, not businesses.
The max per drop off for hazardous waste is due to state law, it is 15 gallons or 125 pounds per vehicle for both businesses and residents. The maximum drop off for document shredding will be five banker boxes.
