Maine towns will be the new owners of a beleaguered Hampden trash plant

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 15, 2022

The group that represents 115 Maine cities and towns will be the new owner of a shuttered trash plant in Hampden. While the Municipal Review Committee will get the facility for just over $1 million, a fraction of the cost it took to create, it will be saddled with high costs to restart the plant, estimated to be $20 million, that’s been dormant for two years.
