The Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District is expanding its hours of operation for the Reuse Room at the Stowe Transfer Station to Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday, noon to 6 p.m.
Stowe’s Reuse Room has been so successful that additional hours are required to move materials through as smoothly as possible.
“We are trying to maximize the reuse of goods brought to us,” says Susan Alexander, manager of the waste district.
According to Alexander, the district was sometimes unable to get ahead of the piles and ended up sending clothing directly to recycling.
“We also need to alleviate the traffic on weekends,” she said, “so by offering more hours during the week and into the evening we hope Reuse Room customers will be able to shop then.”
The current set-up still isn’t ideal. The space is cramped, and traffic flow is a concern. Alexander said that the district is looking into other options for the room and would like to bring its community partners together to develop a long-term plan that allows the district to collect a wider range of reusable items, such as construction materials.
“We envision a sustainable program that favors reuse, one of our highest priorities, over disposal,” she said.
Reusable items such as clothing, furniture, household goods, and recreational equipment are accepted for a small fee and at the discretion of the attendant at many of the district’s facilities.
