A third company is working to restart the shuttered Hampden waste facility

MAINE PUBLIC • April 5, 2023

An organization representing 115 Maine towns and cities said Wednesday it has partnered with a company in another attempt to relaunch a shuttered Hampden waste facility. Since the Hampden facility closed three years ago, several companies have expressed interest in restarting it. Two of those efforts fell through amid funding issues. Now, the Municipal Review Committee says it has partnered with a third firm, Innovative Resource Recovery, that’s already backed by a well-funded investment company.
