b'7 2019 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS REPORTWASTE MANAGEMENTAirports generate a variety of waste streams including municipal solid waste (MSW) (i.e., everyday items that are discarded and not diverted from landfill), construction and demolition (C&D) waste, compostables (i.e., yard and food waste), waste removed from passenger aircrafts, and hazardous waste (i.e., fuels and oils). BTV is committed to minimizing the production of waste from its facilities and operations, while maximizing diversion opportunities including through recycling and composting. It has a long-standing solid waste plan that addresses operations Airport-wide, including tenant operations. The total cost of waste collection in 2017 was approximately $38,600. More than half of this was attributable to MSW. BTVs recently renewed contract with Casella Waste Systems incentivizes recycling and composting, as there are no associated hauling fees like there are for trash disposal. The more the Airport diverts its waste from landfill disposal,the more money it saves!13%In 2017, the Airport Solid Waste Disposal generated approximately9% and Diversion 273 tons of Composting (CY 2017)Source: City of BurlingtonsolidGreenhouse Gas Trends Summarywaste MSWRecycling which includes MSW, recyclables, and compostables.
