ecomaine is happy to offer group and individual tours of any of our three facilities

• Waste-to-Energy Plant
  (Please note: to tour our waste to energy plant you must be age 18 or older.)

We are also pleased to make presentations at elementary schools. We put specific focus on what happens to trash and the importance of recycling, however our presentation can be tailored to address individual classroom goals about waste management and a variety of related topics.

Adult- level presentations are also available.

There is no cost to tour our facilities or to schedule a presentation. Please call us at 207-773-1738 to make arrangements.
