ecomaine will be teaching us how to divert our waste by recycling and composting!

Every day, we throw our trash, recycling and compost to the curb.  What if we looked deeper into our disposal habits to learn what truly happens at the end of the day, after all of the bins are picked up.  What if this program could help you save money every day and on your taxes overall, save valuable space in the landfill, and save non-renewable resources from being overused.

Join us April 13th at the Dyer Library. No registration required.

March 17, 2 PM at Mobil Parcel- This property is located just off of Route 1 in Saco. You can park at the back of the Citgo gas station and access the trailhead.

We will discuss land conservation, look for signs of wildlife, and walk Saco Bay Trails’ Middle Goosefare. Total distance covered will be less than a mile with small hills and bridges. Depending on conditions, you may need to bring hiking poles, snowshoes/micro-spikes, or wear boots for muddy walking.
