GORHAM, ME (November 11, 2022) — Trash needs to be curbside by 7am the day of collection or the night before. To prevent weather and animals from making a mess of trash, residents are encouraged to purchase trash cans. Trash will not be collected if it’s not curbside by 7am, if a tag is not visible or if the tag has been tampered with. Each bag must have a tag!

There will be no trash or recycling collection on the following four holidays:

1. New Year’s Day, January 1st

2. Independence Day, July 4th

3. Thanksgiving Day, last Thursday in November

4. Christmas, December 25th

Trash will be delayed one day on the observed holidays. For example, if the holiday observed falls on a Monday, trash will be picked up on Tuesday. This pushes trash and recycling collection for the rest of the week one (1) day. This Thanksgiving, 11/24/2022, Thursday collection will be collected Friday, 11/25/2022.

If there will be a delay or cancelation of trash due to weather conditions, we will post information to the Town Facebook page as well as the Gorham Town website. Subscribe to the website to get an automatic email when information is published.

If there are questions or concerns, give the office a call. We are more than happy to help.
