@SWANA @ecomaine Kudos to Amy Burke & Kevin Roche for their leadership at the ecomaine annual meeting! The collaboration boosts our waste management efforts! 🌍🚮🤝 #SWANA #WasteManagement #Sustainability swana.org

@scdaymaine Thanks for asking! This is not able to be recycled at our facility, because it doesn’t follow our single sort rules and can create hazards for workers. Let me know if you have any more questions!

@ecomaine According to the folks at my transfer station, you won’t recycle this packaging. How come?

Hi! We apologize for the lack of presence on twitter (or is it X now?), but would like to post our press release regarding the recent purple vapor incident at our waste to energy facility. Please feel free to email us at info@ecomaine.org for any further questions.

Don't go axing that #recycling program! Data published in the journal, @Nature suggests it's worthwhile, even in the worst of markets! Read: Communities should reconsider walking away from recycling mailchi.mp/ecomaine/uf-st…

Congratulations!
