DUMP is an all volunteer Community Organization opposed to the continued use of a single landfill for Vermont’s trash and dedicated to maintaining the health of Lake Memphremagog and the surrounding watershed for fishing, recreation and a reservoir/water source for our Canadian Neighbors. We are concerned about the adverse environmental impact the landfill continues to have on the State of Vermont!
