Contaminated items are basically garbage that gets in the wrong container. The last container we sent to ecomaine included 3 full bags of trash,

20+ empty plastic bags, styrofoam, twine, scrap metal, and packing foam. If you don’t know what items are appropriate for recycling, please ask the attendant or check the side of the recycling container for information. We do not want to be charged for contamination, please be diligent about what you place in the recycling container.
