Gorham Notes: Jan. 7
Derek Davis / Portland Press Herald
Tags not bags
The town on Jan. 1 transitioned to the sale of trash tags, but town trash bags will continue to be available at local stores and municipal facilities until the supply runs out.
Trash will continue to be collected in a town trash bag as long as residents use them, but tags will be used going forward. The tags will signify to the curbside collection contractor, Pine Tree Waste (Casella), that the resident has paid for the collection of each tagged bag.
A small trash tag is $1.50 and a sheet of small trash tags, $7.50; A large trash tag is $3 and a sheet of large trash tags, $15. Revenue from the sale of tags goes to pay for trash and recyclable curbside collection.
