| Recycling & Waste Reduction | |
 | PakTech Reycling  at North Yarmouth Variety Thanks to a new collaboration between the NY Waste Reduction Committee and NYV owners Dan & Hannah, you can save the trip to the Portland Allagash Brewing Company and recycle your PakTech handles in town. |
 | Textile Recycling is Here! Members of the Waste Reduction Committee have teamed up with Apparel Impact to provide our community with an option to recycle clothing, shoes, sheets & towels. A bin like the one depicted in the image will be available at the entrance of the Municipal Offices (10 Village Square RD) for residents to recycle textiles. ***FMI*** |
 | We get this one a lot..
When it comes to caps and lids - leave them on the recyclable container! When caps and lids are thrown in the bin by themselves, they are too small and end up as litter.
Check out our RECYCLOPEDIA App in the App Store. |
Gearing up for game day? ecomaine's got some SUPER sustainable ideas for the big game.
