Curbside Trash Collection Changes Beginning July 1

Garbage to Garden will be new service provider

Effective July 1, 2026, Garbage to Garden will assume the town’s trash and recycling contract from longtime provider Casella Waste Systems. Scarborough residents will continue to receive weekly curbside trash and single-stream recycling collection with no interruption in service during the transition. It also offers the new expanded optional benefit of weekly curbside compost pickup. Collection routes and schedules will remain the same throughout town.

The service contract for the Town of Scarborough was awarded to Garbage to Garden through a competitive bid process. The Portland-based company helped popularize curbside composting across New England and brings more than a decade of collection logistics, technology, and resident engagement experience to the partnership. The Scarborough contract is the company’s second full municipal trash and recycling contract, following a successful launch in the City of Bath in July 2025. "In addition to competitive pricing, other factors including a willingness to make this transition seamless to residents, a new fleet of vehicles, and a commitment to customer service, confirmed that Garbage to Garden offered the best proposal and is the right partner for the Town," said Tom Hall, Scarborough Town Manager.

Also beginning July 1 with the start of the new service provider, households will have the option for the opt-in service at a cost for a dedicated composting bin for weekly pickup of food scraps, yard waste, and other compostable materials alongside their regular trash and recycling collection. “We're looking forward to offering curbside composting to Scarborough residents on a subscription basis as part of everyday trash and recycling service,” said Jami Fitch, Scarborough’s Sustainability Manager. “This is something our community has been asking for, and we’re excited to make it happen.”  

“Scarborough is exactly the kind of community we’ve been building toward — one that wants trash, recycling, and composting to work together as a single, integrated system rather than as separate services bolted on over time,” said Tyler Frank, Founder and President of Garbage to Garden “We’re grateful for the Town’s confidence in us and are committed to delivering a program that residents will notice immediately.”

Curbside composting in Scarborough is an opt-in program, and residents are encouraged to sign up now to reserve their spot ahead of the July 1 launch. Two service levels are available exclusively to Scarborough residents: A full-service plan, which includes weekly curbside pickup on trash day and a clean bucket swap each week; and a Scarborough Resident Rate plan, which includes weekly pickup and a 12-gallon bin delivered at the start of service (residents clean their own bin). Both plans accept all food scraps, including meat, dairy, and cooked foods. Visit the Garbage to Garden website to sign up or learn more, or call (207) 332-0277.

Common Questions

Will there be any changes to my scheduled pickup day? No, the scheduled routes and days will remain the same.

Will the bins stay the same? Yes, households will keep the same bins.

Will yard waste disposal at Casella still be available? Residents will still be able to dispose of grass clippings, leaves, and small amounts of household brush at the Casella Transfer Station free of charge with no changes. 

Does the Town offer public drop-off sites for compost if I don't sign up for the Garbage to Garden curbside service? There will continue to be a public compost bin at Scarborough Public Works (20 Washington Ave) available to residents free of charge for household compost disposal.

Track Closed to Public for Final Surfacing & Painting

Scarborough Public Schools Update

The track will be closed this month for final surfacing and stripe painting. Site work to restore and upgrade the Scarborough High School track was completed during Summer 2025 and these are the only remaining elements of the project. Since last Fall, the School has been working with the contractors to determine the best timing to complete the renovation.

Project Schedule Considerations

In order for the track surface to adhere and cure properly, the outside temperature cannot be lower than 50 degrees during the entire application period, and dry weather is required for most of the process. In addition, any stray ball from an adjacent field or accidental footstep striking the base mat before it cures could cause irreparable damage. Due to these factors, it was decided that waiting until the end of the Spring athletic season would be the safest approach, recognizing that it would be foolish to take the chance of ruining the surface after all of the time and money that has been expended by the community to date. While understandably disappointing for this year’s athletes, this clearly turned out to be a smart decision, as the cold wet spring we have had so far would have easily derailed the work.

Project Schedule

Friday, June 5: Staff moved equipment and closed off the track and turf field area for any use

Monday, June 8: Surface work began (after the regular sports season ends). Starting on June 5, .

Early July: Anticipated reopening

The work will take approximately 16 days, weather permitting, during which time the area will be closed to the public.

Due to materials staging outside of the fence on Wentworth Drive, we ask that citizens avoid driving through that area during this time. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of the many community members who enjoy using this facility, and we look forward to the completion of a beautiful, state-of-the-art restoration. Although beyond the original timeline, the critical upgrades to both the turf and track will undoubtedly serve our students and larger community well for years to come. 

June 25: Skate Park Community Engagement Meeting

Thursday, June 25, 5:00pm

Public Safety Building, 275 US Route One

A Day in the Life of Ed Alden, Fleet Manager

We interviewed Ed Alden, Fleet Manager for Scarborough Public Works, for the latest Scarborough Living magazine. Ed oversees all phases of the automotive trade from specialized apparatuses like police vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances and school buses, to construction equipment and more. Here's an excerpt from the feature on a day in his life:

The day starts early for Ed. He’s up at 4:15am and in his office a half-hour later. The Public Works facility is in the industrial park behind Holy Donut and has a full staff of 31 (10 vehicle maintenance, 17 operations, 4 admin). Ed’s office is in the back of the seven double-bay shop where all Town vehicle maintenance happens. Ed has nearly an hour to himself to outline his day before the crew arrives. He plans what the crew will work on, determines if any vehicles were dropped off overnight for repair, and checks the fuel inventory.

Residents may not see it directly, but Scarborough’s Public Works Fleet Technicians are a pivotal component to ensuring the Town runs smoothly. “We’re the ones making sure your buses don’t break down taking your kids to school,” says Ed. “Same with our fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, and the plow trucks keeping roads open during snowstorms. It’s all behind the scenes.” Read more

Council Launches Communications Ambassadors Concept

The Council Communications Committee recently had the pleasure of bringing together 15 residents from across our community—each representing different perspectives, experiences, and neighborhoods—to share their thoughts on how we communicate and engage as a Town.

We are incredibly grateful to these individuals for taking the time to join us, openly share their ideas, and reflect on what makes Scarborough such a special place to live. While there were a wide range of views on specific topics, what stood out most was a shared sense of pride and appreciation for our community.

One of the most meaningful aspects of the evening was not just the ideas shared, but the opportunity for residents to learn from one another. In our busy lives, it’s easy to stay within our own circles. This conversation created space for people to hear new perspectives, better understand different experiences, and find common ground. There was a genuine sense of curiosity, respect, and appreciation for the diversity of voices in the room—and that, in itself, was incredibly powerful.

Several participants also noted that with the loss of The Leader, there continues to be a gap in how information is shared across the community. This was an important theme, and one we will continue to thoughtfully consider.

Below are just a few of the many thoughtful ideas generated through this collaborative discussion:

• Hosting a “Welcome to Scarborough” event to connect residents with Councilors and Town resources

• Encouraging student-led journalism to highlight what’s happening across the community

• Creating events that celebrate the diversity and history of our neighborhoods

• Reducing barriers to participation at public meetings

• Increasing awareness of and involvement in citizen committees, which play a vital role in shaping ideas before they reach the Council

These ideas are just a sample of the energy and creativity shared by this group. Our next step is to thoughtfully review this input and identify opportunities to continue strengthening communication and engagement across the Town.

Most importantly, this event reinforced the value of bringing people together. When we create space to listen, learn, and connect across perspectives, we build a stronger, more informed, and a more connected Scarborough.

If you’re interested in being part of this ongoing conversation, we welcome you to reach out at towncouncil@scarboroughmaine.org or join a future Council Communications Committee meeting.

Council Corner: Metro Services in Scarborough

By Bill Donovan, Town Council

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Scarborough Town Council.

The Town Council recently approved a public transportation proposal from Greater Portland Metro (“Metro”). This is an exciting expansion of roadway transportation in Scarborough that will begin implementation in just a few months. Naturally, the public will have lots of questions and I will draw on materials submitted to the Town by Metro to provide some answers.

When and Where?

Service expansion to Scarborough will begin in the summer of 2026. This service expansion is jointly funded using state, federal, and local dollars, on a pilot basis. The service expansion will include a traditional fixed-route bus service, with stops located approximately every ¼ mile; and an on-demand “microtransit” zone, serving much of the Town east of I-95.

What sort of transportation is proposed? Let’s talk about the bus service first.

Fixed Route Bus Service 

Metro’s new Route 25 bus service will operate between downtown Portland and Oak Hill in Scarborough, extending along Scarborough Downs Road to the Exit 42 Park and Ride plaza. In Portland, Metro plans to begin service at Metro's service office at 21 Elm Street, Portland, providing passengers with an easy option to ask questions, purchase passes and stored value, and receive other customer service. The route will serve the VA Outpatient Clinic on West Commercial Street before using the Veterans Bridge to access Main Street in South Portland, proceeding directly along Route 1 into Scarborough. Metro will directly serve the Scarborough MaineHealth campus on most/all trips while the campus is open, typically 7am-6pm on weekdays. Route 25 will serve stops along Route 1 between MaineHealth and the municipal campus. Finally, the route will serve Scarborough Downs Road and Market Street, and most trips will continue to the Exit 42 Park and Ride plaza.

How often will the buses run?

Metro plans to launch this service with a frequency of approximately every 45 minutes, from about 6:00am to 10:00pm, Monday through Saturday, with more limited hours of operation on Sunday. Over time the schedule will be amend to fit usage patterns.

Will there be established Bus Stops?

Metro will utilize existing Biddeford Saco Old Orchard Beach Transit (BSOOB) bus stops along US Route 1 in Scarborough. Additionally, Metro is planning to stop within the Scarborough MaineHealth campus, similar to BSOOB service does today, as well as along Scarborough Downs Road and Middle Road within The Downs development, and at the Exit 42 Park and Ride and/or Cabela’s.

We are proceeding with our engineering consultant to advance designs for several stops along Route 1 and Scarborough Downs Road in order to improve the access, safety, and operability of buses along the new service. Metro will continue to work with staff on the progress of these stop improvements over the course of 2026 and, if necessary, beyond. 

In Portland and South Portland, Metro will utilize existing Metro bus stops. A small number of bus stops will need to be added or modified to accommodate the service. 

Route Considerations for Bus Service

Several outstanding questions have yet to be resolved for the new fixed route service. These items include: 

• Interservice Transit Hub – Metro, BSOOB, and Town staff are working towards identifying one or more locations where transit users may comfortably, safely, and accessibly transfer between transit services.", including Metro’s new Route 25, Metro Connect microtransit service, and BSOOB’s Route 60 service. 

• Hannaford Drive service – Metro is considering providing more direct service to Hannaford Drive and possibly Gorham Road. Metro is seeking guidance from the Town’s Transportation Committee, the public, and Town staff before making this determination. It is possible that this deviation could be added at some point after the service is launched. 

• Level of Service to Exit 42 Park and Ride – Service to the Exit 42 Park and Ride is being considered. Again, Metro is seeking guidance on the value of this option.  

• Level of Service to MaineHealth Scarborough campus – As with all initial decisions time will tell how employing such stops will work into an efficient plan. 

What other public transportation is coming?

Microtransit Service 

Metro plans to launch its Metro Connect microtransit service ahead of, or simultaneously alongside, our fixed route service. Microtransit service is an on-demand, “curb to curb” service that has no fixed route, but is dispatched where rides are requested. Rides can be booked ahead of time or on demand, and riders can choose to be picked up as soon as possible, or arrive by a specific time. Passenger trips are grouped together when possible. 

The three primary factors in determining the capacity of a microtransit system are as follows: 

• Ridership – Unlike fixed route services, microtransit is particularly sensitive to ridership. Vehicles have a specific seated capacity, typically three to four times smaller than a fixed route bus, with no standees allowed. And, because passengers may be riding across a wide geographic area, the travel time of each individual passenger is affected directly by the number of other passengers using the service at the same time. While robust ridership is certainly a goal for microtransit, there are certainly scenarios where heavy ridership leads to worse overall service. For these reasons, Metro is committed to designing our Scarborough service to have as many people as practical use the fixed route bus route rather than microtransit, so that microtransit remains available for those trips that are not duplicated by the new Route 25. 

• Zone Size and Geography – The larger and more complex the microtransit zone, the more travel time that may be needed to complete a given trip or group of trips. This means small, compact zones will be easier to serve than large or sprawling zones. Metro does not size microtransit zones aggressively; instead, we will expand the zone size in the future if key performance indicators suggest that a larger area could be served efficiently. 

• Vehicles in operation – The more vehicles operating in a given zone, the larger the zone can be while providing good levels of service, and the lower the wait times and travel times for passengers. Vehicles in operation is also the primary driver of the cost of the service; adding more vehicles to a busy microtransit zone will typically require careful planning and budgeting. As such, Metro will strive to avoid a situation where the number of vehicles in operation are insufficient for the demand and the size of the zone in question. Metro plans to operate two vehicles during peak hours and one vehicle during off-peak periods.

Next Steps 

Ahead of the service launch, Metro is planning to provide at least one public meeting for Scarborough residents. We will also make ourselves available for “learn to ride” events and at existing Scarborough events to educate residents on the service and how to ride.
