Kittery Resource Recovery Facility

Kittery Resource Recovery Facility is the local spot in Kittery for dropping off household trash and typical curbside-type loads. Neighbors from town and nearby areas use it when their regular pickup won’t handle something or during cleanup projects. It’s a no-frills municipal-style site rather than a commercial recycling center.

Drive in on Mac Kenzie Lane and approach a small entrance booth where vehicles line up to be checked and directed. There’s a scale and lanes for different drop-off points, so be prepared to stop, wait, and then pull up to the appropriate area. The ground is mostly gravel and pavement with large dumpsters or containers and a few concrete islands; sights and smells are what would be expected at a working transfer area. Winter weather can make the yard slippery and slow things down, so rows of cars are common on busy days like weekends or spring cleanup.
