Windham Public Works
Recycling Center in Windham, Maine
About This Location
Windham Public Works, at 185 Windham Center Road, is the town's municipal operations and maintenance facility, not a public recycling drop-off or transfer station. The Town of Windham does not run a traditional dump. Instead, residents get curbside trash and recycling collection: the town contracts with Casella Waste to pick up two 64-gallon carts per household, a black cart for trash and a blue cart for single-stream recyclables, which are taken to the ecomaine facility in Portland. Public Works supervises that contracted collection and offers seasonal leaf-and-brush drop-off and a sand pickup for residents. For questions about curbside pickup, carts, or routes, call 207-892-1909.
