FY 2017 was an important milestone year that demonstrated ecomaine's leadership in the solid waste industry. Just ten years after ecomaine brought single-sort recycling to Maine, they entered the long-awaited movement toward food waste recycling.

Through the food waste diversion efforts of grocery stores, cafeterias, restaurants and curbside collection pilot programs, ecomaine diverted more than 2,700 tons of food waste in the very first year of the program. Recycling these valuable organic resources provides a pathway towards our goal of 50% recycling.
