Kennebunk Recycling Center is the spot locals use when trying to keep cardboard, paper, bottles and cans out of the landfill. Located on Sea Road in town, it’s the kind of place residents drop off curbside-style recyclables and occasional bulky items handled by the center.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop and talk to the attendant before pulling in. The recycling bins and collection areas are set out in plain view-paper/cardboard stacks, glass and metal containers, and loose plastic drop-offs are usually grouped near one side. A scale and pay station are common at centers like this, so expect to slow down on the way out if the site uses weight-based charges. In winter, snowplowing and icy ramps are noticeable; bring patience on busy weekend mornings or during spring cleanups when lines form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the car or truck bed before pulling up; it saves time and avoids extra trips across the lot.
- Have straps or a tarp handy for bulky items so nothing blows out when driving in - unstrapped loads can be a hassle in windy or snowy weather.
- Plan for crowds on weekends and during spring cleanups, and dress for working outside in Maine weather since paths and containers can be muddy or icy.
