Beginning Tuesday, July 1, 2025, Gregory’s Disposal will take over curbside trash collection services in the City of Brewer.  Despite this change in contractor, the rules and collection schedule for household curbside trash collection will remain unchanged.

Household Curbside Trash Collection Rules:

• Each household is allowed up to five (5) bags per week, each weighing less than 40 pounds.
• Stickers for additional bags are available for $2 each and can be purchased at Brewer City Hall, the Brewer Public Library or online.
• Cardboard must be broken down for easy handling but does not need to be placed in a container.

Collection Schedule:

• There will be no change to the collection days (view the collection schedule here). However, the time of day your rubbish is collected may vary with the new contractor.
• To ensure collection, all rubbish must be curbside by 7:00 AM on your scheduled collection day.Our goal is to make the transition to Gregory’s Disposal as smooth as possible.

If your rubbish is missed or you experience any issues with the new service, please contact the Brewer Public Works Department at 207-989-7800, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM. The sooner they are notified, the faster they can address any problems.

Transition Schedule Recap:

• Monday collection residents will be serviced by the current contractor on June 30, 2025, and Gregory’s Disposal will begin collecting the Monday route on July 7, 2025.
• Residents with Tuesday or Wednesday collection will begin receiving service from Gregory’s Disposal starting July 1 and July 2, respectively.
