Due to the ongoing pandemic and the restructuring of crews in response, we are going to have to make a few changes to the way we service Peaks Island customers in regards to trash & recycling.
1) We will continue to pick up trash on Mondays
2) We will pick up recycling on Thursdays (vs Mondays)
3) We will now open the Transfer station to the public only on Tuesdays and Saturdays (We will close on Wednesdays and Fridays until further notice)

The Peaks Island Council was established by the City Council of Portland, Maine on July 17, 2007. In the words of the City Council resolution:
Whereas, the city is composed of many distinct neighborhoods and several offshore island communities that require appropriate and effective mechanisms to bring their local issues to the attention of the city council for review and action; and Whereas, the city’s island communities face issues that differ from those of its mainland neighborhoods; and Whereas, Peaks Island is the largest of the city’s islands and has substantially more year round residents than the other city islands; and Whereas, Peaks Island’s distinctive issues and its relatively large population have led to the need for an elected body of representatives that will work closely with the city council to
address island issues; and Whereas, the city wishes to assist the residents of Peaks Island in setting up a structure which will provide a stronger voice on island issues and in city affairs for its residents.
