Holiday Trash Collection Schedule & Christmas Tree Curbside Collection Information

Portland, Maine - There will be no trash and recycling collection on either Christmas or New Year’s Day. The Thursday collection route will have ONE collection day taking place on Saturday, December 27, 2014. Your standard collection schedule will resume the week of January 4, 2015. Please have all material curbside by 6:30 AM on all collections days. For the full holiday collection schedule, click here.

Reminders: Wrapping paper is recyclable. Styrofoam & bubble wrap are not recyclable. During snow events, place trash and recyclables at the end of your driveway or curbing. Do not place recycling bins or trash bags on or behind a snow bank. This results in missed pick-ups, increases chances of a lost or stolen bin and poses a major safety threat if falls or spill into the street.

Christmas trees can be placed curbside for collection on your normal trash day between December 29th, 2014 and January 29th, 2015. Trees can also be dropped off at one of the following locations during the month of January:
• Cutter Street parking lot,
• Payson Park Little League Field
• The Nine-hole golf course lot on Riverside Street.
