Hallowell Recycling Center

Hallowell Recycling Center on Water Street is the small-town spot where residents drop off household recyclables and keep things out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place people from Hallowell and nearby towns swing by for routine cleanouts and recycling runs.

The site is compact and outdoors, with a handful of large containers and bins rather than a big transfer station. Pull onto the lot and look for an office or booth near the entrance where traffic is usually directed; there’s often a scale somewhere on site at facilities like this. Typical containers are for paper and cardboard, glass, plastics and metal, and occasional special collection programs may be offered for items that don’t belong in the regular bins. Expect a practical, no-frills setup-gravel or paved lanes, signage over the containers, and room to pull up close to each drop-off point.
