 | 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*** |
 | Did you know? Anything that plugs in, has a cord, or an on/off switch is NOT recyclable at ecomaine. Small appliances and electronics can cause injury and fires in our recycling facility! When you’re done with an item like these, consider donating if working. Items that have been gently used or that remain in good working condition should be donated to an organization like Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity, or the The Salvation Army. Check out our RECYCLOPEDIA App in the App Store. |
Recycling can do a lot of good! But make sure these common, yet problematic items don't make their way into the recycling bin! | |
