Dispose of old trash & recycling bins!

New curbside trash & recycling carts will be delivered to Auburn residents starting this Monday, June 29! As we roll out Auburn’s new automated curbside collection program for trash and recycling, we know many residents are wondering what to do with their old bins and barrels. We’re happy to help make that part easy!

From July 13 through July 25, Auburn residents are welcome to drop off their old, EMPTY trash cans and recycling bins at 67 Kittyhawk Avenue. The drop off site will be open daily from 7:00AM to 7:00PM, Monday through Saturday. Our team will make sure the bins are recycled, repurposed, or donated whenever possible, keeping useful materials out of the waste stream and putting them to good use.

During this two-week period (7/13-7/25), if you are unable to transport your bins to Kittyhawk, our team is here for you. Simply call Auburn Public Works at 333-6670, provide your address, and our crew will swing by to collect your bins! [This option will not be available after 7/25.]

If it’s more convenient, residents may also bring their old bins to Maine Waste to Energy (110 Goldthwaite Road). Please note that bulky waste fees will apply there.

We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we make this transition together. These small steps — like responsibly retiring old bins — help keep Auburn clean, sustainable, and moving forward. If you have questions, we’re always here to help!
