Nineteen towns are currently members of WSWMD. The town populations range from 136 to 12,005. Each town appoints a representative to serve on the Board of Supervisors for the District.
The WSWMD has in place the elements of a cooperative, progressive and responsible integrated solid waste management system. The solid waste management hierarchy is fully represented in the District's program - source reduction, recycling, waste combustion, then landfilling.
The District's headquarters are based in Brattleboro, Vermont where the District maintains a 30 acre closed landfill; a 40 tons per day Materials Recovery Facility (MRF); a transfer station; a drop-off facility ("convenience center") for waste oil, tires, batteries, textiles, white goods, metals and yard waste; a Swap Shop for reusable items; District offices that house the administrative staff and the operations staff; and, drop-off recycling depots in each member community.
