Recreational Marijuana Survey
With Maine voting to legalize recreational and medicinal marijuana, we are seeking to take a proactive approach to create North Yarmouth guidelines for marijuana businesses.
We, as the Economic Development & Sustainability Committee (EDSC), are administering this survey to get an initial pulse on our community’s position.
Thank you for participating in this survey and helping us get a better picture of what our residents think is best for our community.

Curbside pickup for household trash and recycling continues as normal. There have been no changes to the pickup schedule or the pickup criteria.
- Residents MUST have their household trash and recycling at the curb by 7am on the day of scheduled pickup. Please don't assume that Casella trucks will always be going down your road at the same time every week. There are factors that can change their arrival time on your road. Examples are the number of trucks on the route on that day (more or less), mechanical issues with their fleet and weather all have an effect on the haul trucks arrival time.
- Trash must be placed in official, orange,Town Pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) bags or it will not be collected. Available for purchase at Hannafords, Shaws and the Town Office (although the office is currently closed to the public, you are welcome to call the Town Office (207-829-3705) and arrange a time to pay for and pickup PAYT bags.
- Bags and receptacles must be placed no further than 6 to 8 feet from the roadside.

Between April 25th and June 6th, Maine's Spring Wild Turkey hunting season will be active.
During the hunting season, we recommend that anyone who is walking in the woods and parks strongly consider wearing blaze orange to help readily identify you when you are in the woods. Outfitting your dog with a blaze orange vest is also an excellent idea. Please be aware that hunters may utilize a variety of turkey calls to try and lure a wild turkey to their location. It is never advisable to go toward the sound of a turkey call to investigate. Be safe when you are out enjoying our town parks!
Dear Greely Football Family:
We hope that you are safe and healthy as we fight COVID-19 as a community and a country.
As we monitor and follow the advice of the CDC and public health authorities, this letter is to inform you that we do not have any changes to our timeline currently.
Your child’s health and safety are our No. 1 priority – we will closely monitor the situation and let you know if we update our schedule based on recommendations from the public health authorities.
As circumstances allow, we are still preparing for the season and early registration is essential to a program our size. Please stay tuned for future emails and visit us online at http://www.greelyfootball.com.
On behalf of the entire Boosters Board, be safe and stay healthy.
Best regards,
Greely Football Boosters
