From Town of Gorham

GORHAM – The Town of Gorham began a transition to town trash tags on Jan. 1.

Starting with the new year, Gorham no longer offers town trash bags, although town trash bags will continue to be available for purchase at local Gorham Stores and municipal facilities while supplies last.

Trash will continue to be collected in a town trash bag if residents have them. Trash bags will no longer be sold to local Gorham stores or available at municipal facilities after the bag supply has been exhausted.

Trash tags signify to the town’s curbside collection contractor, Pine Tree Waste (Casella), that the resident has paid for the collection of each tagged trash bag.

The revenue from the sale of tags is used by the Town to pay for the trash and recyclable curbside collection contract.

Small trash tags are $1.50 each, or $7.50 per sheet.

Large trash tags are $3 each, or $15 per sheet.
