Peaks Island Punch Pass Program

Peaks Island Punch Pass Program

Beginning July 9, 2001, the Peaks Island Transfer Station will be open for residents to discard their bulky items. You should have received a letter from Portland Public Works with a new punch pass enclosed like the one below.

Peaks Island residents will also have a Curbside Bulky Item Collection Program that will run the week of September 9 where residents can place a limited number of items out at curbside for pick-up. This program will be different from the heavy item pick-ups of the past in that there will be a limit to the types of items and the quantity that can be placed at curbside. Look for additional details in the next few weeks.

For general questions about the Peaks Island Transfer Station, please call
766-2423. If you have a questions about new pass program, please call our Recycling Hotline at 756-8189 or email us.
