MORNING SENTINEL • June 33, 2020

The Municipal Review Committee, which represents the waste disposal interests of 115 Maine municipalities, reported Wednesday that four entities expressed interest in buying the Coastal Maine LLC recycling and waste-to-energy facility. Coastal closed its facility temporarily May 28 because of financial issues. Solid waste was diverted from Coastal to Crossroads-Waste Management in Norridgewock, to Juniper Ridge in Alton, near Old Town, and to Penobscot Energy Recovery Co. in Orrington.
