The Bangalore (Maine) Daily News reports rural towns in Maine counties will have more access to organics recycling.
Earlier in 2016, Greenville launched the Greenville Organics pilot program in partnership with Agri-Cycle Energy to haul food scraps from local businesses to Exeter Agri-Energy for anaerobic digestion, the article says.
Agri-Cycle Energy also was awarded a contract by the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments in Auburn to enact organics recycling programs in towns across Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. The Northern Oxford Regional Solid Waste Board also is considering partnering with Agri-Energy, the article says.
“It’s a shifting paradigm,” Rebecca Secrest, environmental planner at the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments, told the newspaper. “We’d like to see the apple core become the next tin can.”
