Orrington trash incinerator says it will start accepting waste this month

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 2, 2025

The owner of the Orrington trash incinerator said it will start processing trash as a transfer station in August, but the state says it hasn’t issued the required license. EPEC has a solid waste incinerator license but not a solid waste transfer license, according to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. Currently, trash from 42 municipalities is collected and taken directly to Juniper Ridge Landfill.
