Recycling Reminder!

November of 2016 Ecomaine announced that it will no longer accept #2 and #4 plastic shopping/trash bags. The recycling technology has not been able to separate these bags from the paper and cardboard waste stream. The consequences include downtime for recycling conveyor line, lost work time, and contamination of other recyclable materials.  Also please don't place your recyclabes at the curb in trash bags as these are not acceptable either. 

Ecomaine recommends residents decrease use of these bags, return these bags to the point of purchase, or include them in their orange garbage bags.

Casella is now enforcing this policy and will not pick up your recyclables if they are in a plastic bag.  Please place all recycling in a trash can, tote bin or card board box labeled RECYCLING.
