Portland Cardboard Pickup ~ Maine

In most cases cardboard is 100% recyclable in Portland, ME. However, cardboard that has been exposed to food waste, oil, liquid, grease, and other contaminants is not recyclable. To ensure that your cardboard is properly recycled, make sure that it's clean and dry. In most cases, waste management in Cumberland County may require you to flatten each box before placing it in the recycling bin or it may not be accepted. Also, remember to remove all plastic tape, styrofoam, packaging, laminates or tags to ensure it can be properly processed.
