Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Lewiston
Does Lewiston have single-stream curbside recycling?
Yes. The City of Lewiston switched to single-stream (zero-sort) recycling, so there is no sorting at the curb or at the Solid Waste Facility. Trash and recyclables must be curbside in suitable containers by 6 p.m. the day before your collection day and no later than 7 a.m. on the day itself.
What can I put in Lewiston's single-stream recycling?
Accepted items include newspaper, magazines, catalogs, phone books, hardcover and softcover books, junk mail, corrugated cardboard, mixed and office paper, glass bottles and jars (any color, rinsed with caps removed), plastic containers #1 through #7, and metal cans (tin, steel, aluminum), plus clean aluminum foil, trays, and empty aerosol cans.
Where do I redeem bottles and cans for the deposit in Lewiston?
Maine has a 5-cent container deposit (15 cents on some wine and liquor bottles), redeemed at redemption centers rather than the curb. In Lewiston you can use RC Redemption Center on Lisbon St, RC Bottle on Sabattus St, or M T Bottle Redemption on Sabattus St. Hours vary, so confirm on each location's page.
Where can I take hazardous waste or Styrofoam in Lewiston?
Household hazardous waste and Styrofoam are not part of the single-stream curbside program and handling varies. Check the City of Lewiston Public Works Solid Waste Division for special collection days or approved drop-off options before bringing those materials in.
