There are containers marked for these materials in the shed in the front parking lot. These items are accepted and processed for free.

If you have other electronics that do not fit one of these categories such as radios, projectors, batteries – just call us at (207) 872-2615 to see if we can accept what you have.  Fees for these miscellaneous items might apply and can only be brought to the facility with prior approval on weekdays betweeen 7 am and 2:30 pm.  We are closed most federal holidays

      Hi Mark,

      Thank you for asking. Yes, we’d be most grateful for your computer via mail and we’re working on a program where we’ll pre-paid shipping boxes to kind people like you so you won’t have to pay to mail it to us. We’re adding you to our database so we can notify you when this program is ready (hopefully by the end of the year). Thanks again!
