A~plus Environmental
Recycling &
Rubbish Removal
NEW YEAR'S SCHEDULE: Wednesday will be rubbish only to save room on the truck. Recycling will be picked up this Saturday.
A~plus is a family-owned, local, recycling and rubbish removal business based in Waldoboro, Maine. We offer residential and commercial pickup on a weekly or occasional basis. We currently offer service in Waldoboro, Friendship, and parts of Damariscotta and Nobleboro, Maine.
​
A~plus strongly encourages recycling. Although it takes us more time to sort and distribute at the Transfer Station, it is the right thing to do. Non-recycling customers may be charged an extra fee as the Waldoboro Transfer Station has a strict policy for recycling. All rubbish brought there by commercial haulers must be accompanied by 18% (of the overall weight) of recyclables. If this ratio is not obtained, I have to pay a fee, which would have to be eventually passed on to my non-recycling customers. So far, I have been lucky, and my customers recycle enough to get me through most months.
The hardest thing is trying to get a non-recycling customer to change their ways. Even just recycling cardboard makes a difference. Add that to a few milk jugs and a couple cans and you're on the road to recycling!

Residential
Pickup
$8 per week for pickup. This includes up to 5 white household kitchen bags of trash per week plus average household recycling.* More bags, no problem. Just add $1.50 per additional bag. If you prefer to use larger or smaller bags, just estimate kitchen bags by volume.
​
You may place your recycling into whatever container you like, as long as they are easily identified as recyclables and sorted into 4 categories (tin and glass, mixed paper and news paper, . Some people use Hannaford bags, or their recycling bins. If you choose to put out your bins, I will leave them for you to reuse.
​
We offer monthly billing by mail or email billing. If you choose email, you have the option to pay by sending a check, electronic check, credit card, or debit card.
​
* Non-recycling households may be subject to a non-recycling fee should A~plus incur monthly charges from the Transfer Station due to not meeting recycling standards. A warning would be given before any fees were levied.
