Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off recycling at Ecomaine in a regular car?

No. Ecomaine's tipping hall only accepts pickup trucks or larger vehicles. If you drive a car or standard SUV, you must attach a trailer to be admitted. Residents whose municipalities offer curbside single-sort collection can use that service instead.

What single-sort materials does Ecomaine accept?

Ecomaine accepts four categories loose in your bin: paper and cardboard, metal cans (aluminum and steel), plastic containers with a neck or screw-top lid, and glass bottles and jars. Items should be empty, clean, and dry. Do not bag recyclables.

Does Ecomaine accept paint, batteries, or medications?

Not directly. Ecomaine's Recyclopedia tool (ecomaine.org) lists partner locations for these items: PaintCare sites for paint, retailer drop-offs for batteries, MED-Project and CVS kiosks for medications, and Maine DEP sites for fluorescent bulbs.
