Trash and Recycling:
Most Greater Portland Municipalities provide curbside trash and recycling pick up.
In Portland, if your building does not have a dumpster for your use, you will need to use City of Portland “Blue Bags” for household trash. For recycling, you must use approved City of Portland single sort recycling bins.
