How it works

Gray's trash goes to ecomaine's waste-to-energy plant in Portland, and recycling is baled on site and sold, which is why recycling is mandatory. The “Take it or Leave it” building swaps gently used household items and clothing for free, and finished compost is free to residents. The town holds a household hazardous waste day each year, usually the Saturday before Labor Day weekend.
