(207) 846-2417Yarmouth Recycling Transfer Center is the town recycling center on East Main, used by residents hauling household recyclables and small yard or project cleanups. Locals swing by with bins of cardboard, bottles, cans and other common recyclables to keep things out of the trash. The place feels like a small-town transfer spot rather than a big commercial depot.
Pull up to a single entrance area and follow the flow of cars - there’s typically a booth or attendant area where traffic is directed. Recycling containers and drop-off points are grouped together, with cardboard and mixed containers usually in obvious bays or large bins. Weekends and spring cleanup days get the longest lines, and winter weather can make the lot slippery or slower to work through. Bring things pre-sorted as much as possible to speed things along.
