Mid-Coast Solid Waste is the town solid waste facility at 90 Union St in Rockport, handling household trash, recycling and yard debris that locals bring in. Most residential users stop by for routine cleanups and seasonal loads.
A small entrance booth marks the driveway; pull up and wait your turn before moving on to unload. There are gravel drives, large roll-off bins or piles, and containers for recyclables usually set a little to the right of the entrance. Expect to stop at a scale area and then be routed to the proper drop-off point. Weekends and spring cleanup season get busy, so lines and slower unloading are common.
