NORTHEAST KINGDOM WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT p.o. BOX 1075 LYNDONVILLE. VERMONT 05851 802-626-3532 FAX 802-626-3519 800-734-4602 December 9, 2015 NEKWMD Member Towns RE: E-waste Collection Program Update Dear Member Town: At their regularly scheduled meeting on December 8, 2015, the NEKWMD Board of Supervisors approved a motion that allows us to continue collecting e-wastes until July 1,2016. The amended contract authorized by the Board allows the District to receive $0.04/ Ib for e-wastes delivered directly to our Lyndonville facility. Compensation for all other collection sites in the NEKWMD will be discontinued as of October 1,2015. While the Board is not pleased with this agreement, they felt it was in the best interest of our membership to continue providing the service. One of the reasons the Board was willing to sign the agreement was the promise by the State of Vermont to have a new contract in place by July I, 2016 that includes compensations for all collection locations. The Board is firm in its position to discontinue the service in July of 20 16 if the State does not follow through with its promise to restore compensation for all sites. We have contacted the attendants in towns currently collecting e-wastes so they will be prepared to continue collecting e-wastes over the next several months. We are providing this letter to our membership in case you receive any inquiries regarding the service. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions regarding this correspondence. Most Sincerely, Paul A. Tomasi Executive Director |
