(207) 865-3740Freeport Recycling Center is the town’s recycling drop-off just off Hedgehog Mountain Road, used by residents from Freeport and nearby towns. People bring household recyclables and occasional bulky items for diversion from the landfill, and the place feels like a small, working yard rather than a shiny public building.
Drive in past a small entrance booth and pull up to a staging area where vehicles can unload; there are open-top containers and labeled bins for common items like paper, cardboard, bottles and cans. The site is compact-expect short driveways and room to maneuver a pickup or small trailer, with piles and roll-offs visible from the access road. During busy times, especially spring cleanup or Saturdays, traffic can stack up and maneuvering takes patience; snow and ice can narrow lanes in winter, so take it slow.
