We are on the edge of losing the two most valuable solutions to the future of solid waste management and reverting back to the archaic act of filling our landfills. PERC is running at about 50 percent capacity, according to data from the company, and Coastal Resources of Maine is temporarily closed. Both have the capacity to handle waste and restore the Maine economy. With Coastal Resources, the Old Town mill reprocessing facility and PERC, the lower Penobscot basin could service a major international population with recycle, reuse and repurpose businesses. Maine’s economy could become the center of a global solution. ~ Rep. Dick Campbell, Orrington
