Bangor Public Works Department

A straightforward municipal drop-off at the Bangor Public Works Department for local household trash and community disposal needs. Neighbors from the city and nearby towns use it when their town transfer stations are full or for larger loads that don’t fit in curbside bins. Expect a working, no-frills facility typical of Maine towns rather than a polished retail-style center.

Drive in off Maine Ave and follow the lanes toward the collection area; there’s usually a simple entrance point where vehicles queue. The site looks like a municipal yard-big open bays, piles or containers, and a small booth or office near the entrance where check-in happens. Pull-up space is generous for trucks and trailers, but weekends and spring clean-up days get busy and slow. Winter plowing can leave packed gravel or icy patches, so take it easy getting around the site.
