Holiday Recycling Tips
Help the City of Biddeford reduce recycling contamination this holiday season! Keep these tips in mind before you throw any holiday wrappings in your blue recycling bin. And remember, when in doubt, throw it out! Recycling incorrectly can actually create more waste by contaminating entire batches of recycling. Please make sure to take advantage of our free overflow trash collection instead of filling your blue bin with extra trash.
