Falmouth offers 'single-stream' curbside recycling. With Ecomaine's single-sort processing facility, numerous types of recyclable materials go into the same box…no separation of materials is necessary. Below is a guide of acceptable materials. Ecomaine also provides this easy, printable card that outlines what can, and can't, be recycled: Click here to view and print.
