Recycling in Dover Foxcroft: A Local Guide
Dover-Foxcroft, the shire town of Piscataquis County, has three distinct recycling options clustered near the town's Landfill Road corridor and along South Street. Each serves a different purpose, so knowing which to visit before you make the trip saves time.
For scrap metal and junk vehicles, the go-to spot is Daddy & Daughter Metal Recycling Dover LLC at 53 Landfill Rd. This family-owned yard operates a certified Maine scale and pays fair market prices for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, copper wire, catalytic converters, and junk cars (titles required for 2004 and newer). Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 9 AM to 3 PM; the yard is closed Friday and Saturday. Large-quantity pick-ups and junk vehicle tow-outs are available at reasonable rates. Cash and card accepted.
One road over at 1007 South St sits the Dover Foxcroft Redemption Center, which handles Maine Bottle Bill returns. Bring your deposit-marked cans and bottles—those with the Maine 5¢ or 15¢ mark—and receive cash refunds on the spot. This redemption center does not accept general recyclables or scrap metal; it is dedicated to beverage container returns only.
The third option is the municipally operated Dover Foxcroft Recycling Facility at 66 Landfill Rd, run by the Town of Dover-Foxcroft Public Works department. As a town facility it is likely restricted to Dover-Foxcroft residents; call (207) 564-7940 or check dover-foxcroft.org to confirm current hours and the accepted materials list before visiting.
Piscataquis County residents who need broader recycling options—including e-waste or household hazardous waste—can check nearby communities such as Dexter (home to Mid-Maine Solid Waste Association and Dexter Redemption), Bangor (AIM Recycling and ecoATM), or Sangerville. The Maine recycling directory lists all verified centers statewide.
