Licensing & Reporting Forms
License Application Form
Anyone who collects, transfers, or transports solid waste, including Trash, Blue-Bin Recycling, and Organics that are generated or delivered within Chittenden County must have a current CSWD Hauler License.
Insurance Requirement
Haulers are required to provide a copy of a certificate of insurance indicating their company maintains liability insurance at or above the following levels: $100K per person and $300K per occurrence for personal injury or death, and $100K per occurrence for property damage. CSWD must be named as an additional insured on the policy.
Unit-Based Pricing Form
Vermont law requires haulers to charge residents per unit of trash (weight, volume, or other) produced. The intent is to incentivize diversion of materials away from the landfill and into options that recover resources.
Haulers providing residential curbside pickup services for residents are required to file their pricing system on or before May 1st of each year. This is included in our licensing process.
Use the Unit Based Pricing Form to report changes to your pricing structure.
