North Haven Recycling

North Haven Recycling on N Shore Rd is the town’s small recycling center where locals and seasonal residents drop off everyday recyclables. It handles the usual items - paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and scrap metal - and centers like this sometimes run special collections for items such as electronics or bulky goods. Expect a practical, no-frills place used mostly for household recycling.

The site is modest in scale: a simple drive-in area with a few large bins and a small office or booth near the entrance. Many Maine recycling centers have a scale and charge by weight or per item, so plan to stop briefly to sort and settle any fees. Bins are generally grouped by material a short walk from the drive area, so pull in, unload in an orderly way and keep loose stuff bagged to avoid windblown litter. Weekends and spring clean-up times often bring lines, so midweek mornings usually move quicker.
