Don't Dump It — Recycle It Right
Your old batteries, electronics, and solar panels aren't trash — they're resources. Maine's “dump” services treat everything like garbage, but we're routing those items to eco-friendly recycling centers instead.
Lithium batteries are causing fires at Maine transfer stations. Solar panels contain recoverable silver and copper. Rare earth elements are worth billions. Let's stop burying them.
