Free drop-off of bulky household waste will be ending for Auburn residents. The last day to drop these items at no cost is Saturday, June 28.
“We know that residents value this program,” said Assistant City Manager Denis D’Auteuil. “We’ll continue to look for solutions and ways to meet our residents’ bulky waste needs.”
After June 28, residents can continue to drop household bulky waste at Maine Waste to Energy on Goldthwaite Road at the cost of approximately $0.10 per pound ($200 per ton).
Other long-time disposal programs will continue uninterrupted. Electronic waste can be dropped at no charge at Auburn Public Works; recycling and textiles (clothing, shoes and accessories) can be left in the bins provided on Gracelawn Road; and brush, leaves, logs and other real wood products (no stumps, no processed wood) can be dropped at Oldcastle (481 Springwater Road, Poland) at no cost.
Food waste can be dropped at Gracelawn Road (near the recycling bins) or at the New Auburn Fire Station, 181 South Main Street. Residents can also expect to hear more about the city’s expanded organic waste disposal program in the months ahead.
