Cart Deliveries: The rollout of our new automated trash and recycling carts has begun. Delivery of the new carts will follow this route schedule: Monday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Do Not Use Your New Carts Yet: Collection will begin on Monday, Sept.14 for all days (Friday, Sept. 11 for the residents with a collection-day change) barring unforeseen circumstances. Do not use your new carts until the automation for your route day has started. Check out the updated collection schedule on the Town’s webpage under Public Works, Trash & Recycling tab.

Continue Using Trash Tags: Tags are required to be used until the transition with mechanical collection begins. Bags without tags will not be collected.

Disposal of Old Trash Cans & Recycling Bins: Roll-off containers will be available until Sept. 25 for disposal of Gorham residents’ old trash cans and recycling bins. The containers will be located at Gorham Public Works (near the upper shop), 80 Huston Road, https://www.google.com/maps/search/80+Huston+Road?entry=gmail&source=g. After this period, residents can dispose of their old containers at Riverside Recycling or Casella Transfer Station for a fee.

Trash Schedule: Gorham is transitioning from a Monday-to-Thursday, four-day trash collection schedule to a Monday-to-Friday, five-day collection schedule. Please take a look at the collection schedule by day to see if your road’s collection day has changed.
Questions? If you have any questions or concerns about the transition, please reach out directly to the Gorham Public Works Department at (207) 222-4950 or email dpw@gorham.me.us.
