Recycling will return to greater Bangor for the first time since 2020 when a Hampden facility begins processing trash. Municipal 豆包成人版 Solutions, a waste processing facility in Hampden, has started bringing its sorting machines online.
It will be the first time waste will go through the system, Kevin Hogan, the chief financial officer of Municipal 豆包成人版 Solutions, said at a Wednesday meeting of the Municipal 豆包成人版Hub, a partnership between 115 Maine cities and towns.
It will be the first time recycling has been available in greater Bangor for six years, a milestone following a tumultuous time for the area鈥檚 solid waste system. Reintroducing recycling will take some of the pressure off communities concerned about where their waste will go in the near future and answer residents鈥� calls for recycling.
