The Windham Solid Waste Management District is not slaughtering the residential COW program as expected. We will continue to subsidize Project COW until further notice. This is a great opportunity for local residents to compost their household food and low-grade paper waste!

Safe Plastic: A Reality Check
Myth: The recycling arrow on a plastic container means it’s recyclable.
Reality: Just because the container is stamped with a recycling symbol, this does not mean it’s recyclable. Commonly, only #1 and #2 with narrow necks are recyclable. Some communities do recycle other plastics so check with your local waste disposal company or municipality.

Drugs - What a Waste!
At the Windham Solid Waste Management District (WSWMD), we get a lot of calls regarding the best way to dispose of pharmaceutical waste. This includes expired, unused, spilt and contaminated pharmaceutical products, drugs and vaccines. Historically, the hospital incinerators and sewers were the common and simple methods for waste disposal. Today, incinerators are less common and we’re finding out that it’s not cool to flush your drugs down the toilet.

More Dirt
We live in a society that touts cleanliness as next to godliness. Advertisements bombard us with sparkling images of dirt free, odor free homes. They promise us salvation from bugs, bacteria, fungi, dust, and dirt. Liberation found in a bottle; sleek, colorful, easy-to-use containers that with a spray and a swipe, rid our environment of the pesky organisms who taint our existence. The irony is these critters are great at adapting to their environment and overcoming our poisons. We are the ones who suffer as we poison ourselves in the crusade against the microbes.
