Waste disposal deadline threatens Old Orchard Beach
Old Orchard Beach faces a looming July 1 deadline for solid waste disposal. Town officials say soils on town land are unsuitable for a dump and a regional transfer station is unlikely due to funding. A possible site off Ross Road may be the only viable option, but it requires handling land access and cost concerns. The town weighs stopgap measures, incinerator plans, and a potential park conversion as debates flare among council members.

Authority officials await Office of Revenue Sharing confirmation while noting possible use of prior surplus to cover any return.
