  There’s a New Face at the Recycling Center!

  Fred Berube, Jr. began working at the recycling center in October; replacing Jim Searles, who retired in November after 20 years of service to TCL. We wish Jimmy the best in his retirement, and welcome Fred to the team!

  New and Improved Scalehouse is Complete

  The portable construction trailer that was previously used as a scalehouse has been replaced with a new, stick-built structure. The new scalehouse is more energy efficient, safer, and user-friendly. The scale electronics were also upgraded to insure that the billing to our customers is as accurate as possible.

  Pipeline Construction

  Soderberg Construction completed the installation of the leachate pipeline in October of 2011 and it has been placed into service. Landfill leachate can now be conveyed year-round to the Caribou Utilities District wastewater treatment plant without the use of tractor-trailer trucks. This project was completed on time and under budget; as were all of the recent Phase III landfill development projects.
