The Town of Scarborough has announced that 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 Council Communications Committee recently brought together 15 residents from across Scarborough—representing a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and neighborhoods—to share ideas on how we communicate and engage as a community. Learn more about the ideas that were shared in this Communications Ambassador pilot concept. 

A temporary pedestrian safety demonstration project will be installed along Route 1 near Hannaford Drive and Little Dolphin Plaza at the end of the month. The installation is currently planned for the week of June 29th, with work occurring between approximately 4:30am and 6:30am to minimize traffic impacts.

Take the skate park amenities and design survey by June 10 to help inform the project planning. Then attend a community engagement meeting on June 25 to share your thoughts in person.
