Fuels and kerosene can be brought to our annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection in a gas can or similar container. Your container will be returned to you at the collection site.
During other times of the year, it can be taken to The Environmental Depot in Lewiston. The Environmental Depot is open for All Maine resident household hazardous waste disposal. There is a $28 per “unit” fee. A unit consists of 5 gallons of liquid, 20 pounds of solid waste, or a combination of liquid and solid waste.
The Depot is open the FIRST and THIRD Saturdays of each month from May through November. Hours are from 08:00 to 12:00. If the Saturday falls on a holiday weekend (such as Fourth of July), it will be CLOSED. Please be sure to conform their operating hours before traveling.
Location: The Depot is located within the Lewiston Solid Waste facility at 424 River Road in Lewiston. Phone (207) 786-7390.
From I-95, take Exit 80 (Southbound, take a LEFT off the ramp and go under the turnpike, Northbound take a RIGHT off the ramp). About 3/4 of a mile down, turn left on River Road (just after the WalMart Distribution Facility). Lewiston Solid Waste is about a half mile on the left. Proceed through the main gate by the scalehouse and around the main building. The Depot will be in front of you.
