Plan to use land at Jay’s Androscoggin Mill for waste collection network moves ahead

SUN JOURNAL • September 9, 2025

The former Androscoggin Mill in Jay is closer to being part of a statewide network of waste collection sites after a Bangor company obtained the necessary state approvals. Michael Carroll, executive director of Municipal WasteHub, said Thursday the Bangor company that recently bought the landfill and wastewater treatment section of the former mill , JayCo, received state approvals last month allowing it to use that section for waste collection and wastewater treatment. The waste collection operation will be part of a network to feed a processing hub in Hampden. The nonprofit Municipal WasteHub provides waste management services for about 115 Maine municipalities.
