Municipal leaders need current information about alternative disposal methods to make rational decisions on handling their town\u27s waste. To provide an overview of landfilling and other waste-handling methods used in the upper New England states, a group of university researchers from New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont initiated a study of landfills and solid waste management practices. The study involved a comprehensive mail survey of municipalities in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. This report focuses upon and discusses the results of the landfill and solid waste management survey for Maine.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1019/thumbnail.jp
