Vermont used to have hundreds of dumps all over the state. These days, most of the state’s trash ends up in one place: a landfill in Coventry. Question-asker Sylvia Dodge, of Lyndon, wants to know why all that trash ends up in just one small town. We visit the Coventry landfill, trash bag in hand, and talk to the people doing the dirty work. <a href="https://www.vermontpublic.org/podcast/brave-little-state/2025-01-23/new-hampshire-has-six-landfills-why-does-vermont-only-have-one" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">You can find photos from our reporting, and a full transcript for the episode, here</a>.<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOb8h6ZOrF4q6DzPGfioRDKiuweCLAh9m8Er83Q6A2dGmjoA/viewform" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Share your feedback about BLS!
