ORRINGTON - Even trash takes a hit when the economy sours.
When people have a reduction in income, they make fewer purchases, which results in less garbage. Fewer trash bags to carry out to the curbside or to take to the landfill might be a blessing for most homeowners, but for the 187 Maine municipalities that have long-term contracts with the Penobscot Energy Recovery Company in Orrington, less trash could mean additional costs.

Maine has made great strides away from the environmentally shameful practice of burying solid waste. Many of the state's landfills have closed, recycling programs have been established and as consumers, Mainers are more aware of the impact and true costs of their choices.
But the plateau reached more than a decade ago is not a place to stop. Yet finding the new path toward better trash-management policies is less clear.

Host community agreements contain government-backed assurances that communities chosen as sites of waste disposal facilities will receive a measure of financial coverage should environmental damage occur as a result of these facilities. These host community agreements are an integal part of the siting process, being one of the the best mechanisms for overcoming community resistance to the presence of waste disposal facilities in an area.

Like it or not, the Juniper Ridge Landfill belongs to the people of Maine. It is the only state-owned landfill in Maine, and its primary obligation is the responsible disposal of hundreds of thousands of tons of trash each year - but only trash that is generated in Maine.
Unlike the Pine Tree Landfill in Hampden, a privately owned facility 20 miles to the south that stopped accepting waste at the end of last year, Juniper Ridge is poised for significant growth. But the magnitude and direction of the facility's growth, as well as its future management and regulation, are a matter of significant speculation and division.

GUILFORD - Although residents voted last year to construct a solid-waste transfer station rather than contract with Mid-Maine Solid Waste Association in Corinna, the matter will be up for action again at this year's annual March town meeting.
That's because the costs estimated last year for construction of a new solid-waste transfer station were too low, according to Town Manager Tom Goulette. The current estimate for the site work and concrete pads for the buildings and the retaining wall alone is $295,000, he said Thursday. The total project costs could be as high as $700,000, he said.
