(207) 353-3009Lisbon City Solid Waste Department is the town’s municipal spot for household trash, recycling and yard debris, located at 14 Capital Ave in Lisbon, Maine. Neighbors from around town bring routine curbside overflow, bagged trash and green waste here. It’s the kind of small, practical place that sees more traffic in spring and struggles a bit in winter weather.
The facility looks like a compact transfer station rather than a big commercial landfill - a single driveway in, a small office or booth, and open bays or containers for different materials. Expect to drive up, wait your turn during busy weekend or spring-cleanup times, then pull into a stall or bay to unload. Snow and ice can make the access lanes narrow in winter, so plan for slower movement on-site. There are usually separate spots for recycling and yard waste, and trash areas that take most household loads.
