Recycling in Bridgton: A Local Guide
Bridgton, a Cumberland County town in Maine's Lakes Region, is served by two complementary recycling facilities that together cover everything from deposit bottles and cans to scrap metal, construction debris, and household appliances.
Redemption Depot at 4 Nulty Street is a dedicated beverage-container redemption center participating in Maine's Bottle Bill. It accepts any quantity of Maine-deposit cans and bottles — beer, soda, water, hard cider, wine coolers, wine, and spirits — as long as they carry a valid Maine deposit marking, are empty, clean, and uncrushed. Standard containers earn 5¢ each; wine and spirits containers earn 15¢ each. The facility is open Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays) and accepts everything from a few bags to a full truckload. No general recyclables are handled here.
Bridgton Transfer Station at 118 Sandy Creek Road is the town's full-service municipal drop-off, operated by the Town of Bridgton. It handles household trash, single-sort recycling (processed by EcoMaine in Portland), scrap metal, construction and demolition debris, tires, appliances, used oil, paint (free PaintCare drop-off), mattresses, televisions, CFLs, fluorescent tubes, and propane tanks up to 30 lbs. An on-site Reuse-to-Recycle (R2R) swap store is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 8 AM–3 PM. A $10/year resident sticker is required; Sunday hours (7 AM–noon) are limited to household trash and recycling only — no demo or scrap metal.
