ecomaine Landfill/Ashfill

ecomaine Landfill/Ashfill, Green Road, Scarborough, 04074, Maine

ecomaine Landfill/Ashfill on Green Road is the large landfill complex serving South Portland/Scarborough area users. Trucks, contractors and residents with big loads end up here when recycling or transfer options aren't appropriate. It’s literally where ash and other landfill-bound material get buried, so expect industrial-scale operations.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale - tipping fees are handled by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed in and out. The site is big: long lanes, heavy equipment moving, and high berms or covered ash cells visible from the road. Pull into the lane, follow the traffic flow to the unloading area, then return over the scale; expect dust, gravel surfaces, and loud machinery nearby. Weekends and spring cleanup season often mean lines and slower movement through the site.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads before leaving home - loose debris and dust blow around and can make the trip messier.
  • Be prepared for rough, uneven ground and loud equipment; closed-toe shoes and eye protection are wise.
  • Plan for possible waits during weekends or seasonal cleanups and sort what can be recycled beforehand to avoid unnecessary trips.
