Recycling in Hermon: A Local Guide
Hermon is a town of roughly 5,000 in Penobscot County, Maine, situated just west of Bangor. Residents have two distinct recycling-related facilities to choose from — a curbside hauling dispatch center and a neighborhood bottle-return redemption center — each serving a different purpose.
Casella Waste Systems at 31 Freedom Parkway is a hauling dispatch facility, not a public drop-off. It serves as the base from which Casella dispatches trucks for residential and commercial curbside pickup across the Bangor area. Subscribers receive weekly collection of trash and single-stream recycling (paper, cardboard, cans, plastic bottles, and glass); bulk-waste and food-scrap add-ons are also available. Office hours are Monday 7 AM–4 PM and Tuesday through Friday 7 AM–5 PM. If you need drop-off service rather than curbside pickup, contact Casella about the nearest transfer station.
Hermon Family Redemption on Fuller Road is a community bottle-and-can redemption center operating out of a converted barn approved by Hermon's Planning Board in 2022. Under Maine's Bottle Bill, it returns 5 cents per deposit-eligible can or bottle and 15 cents per wine or spirits container — with no fee to you. It also accepts labeled fundraiser bag drops for local organizations (call or text ahead). Hours are seasonal; the most recent published schedule shows Saturday and Sunday 12–5 PM. Call (207) 944-2002 to confirm current hours before visiting.
