Igloo Recycling Centers are located in many communities throughout Central and Northern Aroostook County. Every effort has been made to place the Centers in an easily accessible common area in each community such as close to the Post Office, Municipal Office, or grocery store.
NOTICE: Unfortunately, we are not able to empty igloos at this time due to issues with the truck. Please do not leave materials on the ground. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
