In 1976, four communities came together to take a collaborative approach to waste management. Today, that partnership has grown into ecomaine: more than 70 member communities working collectively to manage waste through innovative, sustainable solutions for recycling and municipal solid waste.
Benefits of Becoming an ecomaine Community:
- Regionalization at its best: efficient solutions at an economy of scale
- Innovation and inspiration from a diverse collective of communities
- Controlled costs for waste management
- A voice in ecomaine policy and planning
- Flexible solutions to manage recycling and MSW separately or together
- Long-term equity in our facilities
- Educational resources & community outreach
