Maine

Maine state law provides for and encourages Counties to partner with their municipalities whenever, by doing so, better and more cost efficient services can be provided to the citizens.  Started in 1987, Lincoln County Recycling has taken the lead in providing this kind of regional/local government partnership(s) with its Recycling Department.

In addition to its Recycling Program, the Department has expanded its operation with an active composting program (yard waste and food scraps) located at its facility at 54 Huntoon Hill Road in Wiscasset.

​

Annually, Lincoln County Recycling saves the Towns it services hundreds of thousands of dollars in tipping and transportation fees of materials that would otherwise get processed through a "Single Stream" contract.
