Recycling Center

Maine Recycling Corporation

61 Capital Ave, Lisbon Falls, ME 04252

(207) 353-7142

A straightforward recycling center in Lisbon Falls used by local residents and small haulers from nearby towns. It's the kind of place people stop at when unloading boxes, bottles, cans, and other recyclables instead of bringing them to a town transfer station. The site is practical and seasonal-busier in spring and trickier in winter weather.

Drive up to 61 Capital Ave and look for a small entrance area with a booth and a short line of traffic on busy days. The lot has pull-up spaces for cars and small trucks and separate containers or bays for common materials like paper, cardboard, glass, cans and plastics; many centers like this also run occasional drop-offs for electronics or metal. Everything is outdoors, so be prepared for mud or packed snow in colder months and for queues on weekends or during community cleanup season. Staff usually direct traffic from the booth, so follow their signals and plan on a short wait if someone ahead is sorting through a mixed load.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into boxes or bins before arriving-it speeds things up and avoids standing around separating items at the site.
  • Bring gloves and shoes with good traction in winter; ramps and compacted snow can be slippery and surfaces get icy.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends if a quicker trip is needed; midweek or mid-afternoon trips are often less crowded.
