Contaminated items are basically garbage that gets in the wrong container. We are doing better, but the last container we sent to ecomaine included 20+ loose empty plastic bags, four pieces of styrofoam, and a shirt, for a total of 2% contamination. If you don’t know which 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, so please be diligent about what you place in the recycling container. We are looking for 0% contamination!

Thank you for your support, and remember to be kind to one another,

Marjorie E. Stratton, Town Administrator
