Frequently Asked Questions
What containers qualify for redemption at Touch Of Glass?
Any beverage container with 'ME 5¢' or 'ME 15¢' embossed on it qualifies under Maine's bottle bill. This includes most beer, soda, water, juice, and wine cooler bottles and cans sold in Maine. Containers without a Maine deposit embossed — such as wine bottles, spirits, and out-of-state purchases — are not redeemable.
How much do I get per container at Touch Of Glass Redemption?
You receive the deposit amount embossed on the container — either 5 cents or 15 cents each. The 15-cent deposit applies to certain water bottles under Maine law. There is no limit on the number of containers you can bring in a single visit.
Can I drop off general recycling like cardboard or electronics here?
No. Touch Of Glass handles only Maine bottle-bill redemptions. For cardboard, paper, scrap metal, electronics, and household waste, use the nearby Co-Operative Transfer Station at 34 Buttermilk Lane in Thomaston (open Tue–Thu and Sat, 8 AM–4 PM).
Is Touch Of Glass Redemption open on weekends?
The center is open Saturday 8 AM to 2 PM but is closed Sunday and Monday. Tuesday through Friday it is open 8 AM to 3 PM.
