#Maine - The Annual Obsolete #Pesticide Program - Deadline for registration is October 5, 2026

"Registration is now open for the 2026 Obsolete Pesticide Collection Program.
2026 Obsolete Pesticide Collection

The Maine Board of Pesticides Control and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection offer Maine residents a free, safe, and environmentally responsible way to dispose of obsolete, unusable, or unwanted pesticides. Collected materials are transported to licensed out-of-state hazardous waste disposal facilities.

The program is open to Maine resident homeowners and family-owned farms.

The program does not accept commercial pesticide waste. Commercial applicators, businesses, and other commercial entities are responsible for disposing of pesticide waste through a licensed hazardous waste contractor.

What can be collected?

The program accepts obsolete or unwanted pesticides, including but not limited to:

#Herbicides
#Insecticides
#Rodenticides
#Fungicides
Disinfectants
Spray adjuvants

Materials may be accepted whether they are unused, banned, no longer usable, frozen, caked, or otherwise unsuitable for use.

Collection Events

One-day collection events will be held in November 2026 at the following locations:

#PresqueIsleME
#BangorME
#AugustaME
#PortlandME

For security reasons, event dates, times, and specific collection locations are provided only to registered participants. Pre-registration is required. Drop-in participants cannot be accepted.
Need to Dispose of Pesticides Sooner?

If you need to dispose of pesticides before the annual collection program, contact your local Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) office for guidance. Many Maine municipalities also host #HouseholdHazardousWaste Collection events during the summer, where residents can safely dispose of pesticides and other household hazardous wastes. Contact your local town office for information about events in your area or see our Disposal Options page for additional guidance. The Board of Pesticides Control cannot provide emergency hazardous waste disposal. If you have an immediate disposal need, contact your local DEP office or a licensed hazardous waste contractor.

Registration Reminder

Pre-registration is required for all participants. Registrations must be submitted by the individual currently possessing the pesticides. Materials delivered on behalf of another person or business cannot be accepted. Registration Deadline: Monday, October 5, 2026.

From March 2026...

Could #Maine make polluters pay for the cost of #climateChange ? Lawmakers want to study it first.

The Legislature on Tuesday passed a measure to study how much greenhouse gas emissions are costing the state, with Republicans opposed.

by Rachel Ohm, March 31, 2026

"Maine lawmakers Tuesday took a possible step toward establishing a program to recoup money from large, corporate polluters to pay for the impacts of climate change.

"The House of Representatives passed a bill that would study how much greenhouse gas emissions have cost the state in a 75-72 vote that fell largely along party lines. Two Democrats, Tiffany Roberts of South Berwick and Holly Sargent of York, joined with Republicans in opposition.

"The Senate passed the bill 19-13 earlier in the week with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed.

"The bill, LD 1870, sponsored by Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, started out as a proposal for a so-called #ClimateSuperfund that would collect fees from groups that extract #FossilFuels and refine crude oil and whose activities are found to contribute to certain levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The money would be used to fund climate change adaptation projects.
The version that was voted on this week, however, was revised to a proposal for a study of the cost to the state of greenhouse gas emissions from 1995 to 2024. The information is set to be submitted to lawmakers in a report due by Jan. 1, 2028."

There was some coverage of the #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally today. Hubby is sending me a gift article link later tonight, but here's a photo from today's march... You can see my sign in the far left corner.

#MainePol #USPol #ResistanceIsFertile #BigOilKnew #ClimateCrisis
#MaineEvents #Oiligarchy #CorporateColonialism #Oligarchy #Polluters #MakePollutersPay #CorporatePolluters #WaterIsLife

The #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally was small, but powerful! We chanted and marched from #UselessSusanCollins office to #AngusKing 's office to #ChelliePingree 's office. Only Chellie committed to making Big Oil pay. I did NOT volunteer to go into Susan Collins' office, as I'm still on her shit-list. Met some good folks from #ThirdAct and #NRCM . It seems I was the only #MaineDSA member there, but that's okay -- a rally should have at least one card-carrying #Socialist! My hand-painted signs were a big hit. Someone asked if I hand painted #NoJobsOnADeadPlanet one. "Yup! No AI involved!" to which everyone laughed. I'm glad I went. I've been burnt out from protesting, so it was good to get my activist batteries recharged hanging out with good people!

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!

#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026

No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!

"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.

"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.

Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street

#WellsME - Eyes on the #Estuary: A Visit to the Research Marsh

Explore current field research projects happening along the trail and out on the #SaltMarsh !

Thursday, August 6, 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm
Cost: Free with Admission

"As visitors to the Wells Reserve explore the natural beauty along the trails, a group of scientists are working in the background to better understand these important #ecosystems. On this guided walk, we will dive deeper into these ongoing research projects to learn about the impacts of invasive plant and crab species, restoration of the endangered New England Cottontail, and participate in hands-on water quality monitoring.

"This program is about 1.75 hours and covers about 1 mile round trip. Much of the walk will be out on the salt marsh so close-toed shoes/boots that can get a little wet or muddy and long pants are recommended. This program is geared towards adult audiences, but is open to interested participants as young as middle school.

"Your guide, Gail, is a retired marine biologist and high school science teacher and current #WellsReserve volunteer. "

#UnityME - #MOFGA #SeedSwap & #ScionExchange 2026

March 29, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

MOFGA’s Education Center
294 Crosby Brook Rd
Unity, ME 04988 United States

Let us know you're coming!

* In the event of severe weather, the Seed Swap & Scion Exchange will be postponed to the following Sunday, April 5 from 12-4 pm.

"Gardeners and orchardists are invited to bring their #seeds, #scionwood and #cuttings to share. If you don’t have any, come anyway! There is always plenty of seeds and scion to go around.

If you’ve been to the event before, you know that space can get tight at the start of the event. We encourage folks to join the event later in the day — we promise, there are still plenty of seeds and scions available over the duration of the event!

Community members and local seed #growers regularly bring an incredible variety of #vegetable, #fruit, #flower, and #herb seeds. We also regularly have over 150+ types of scionwood to share, including scionwood sourced from MOFGA’s orchards. We will also have limited quantities of #rootstock for sale. Custom #grafting is available by donation to the #MaineHeritageOrchard.

Other items for sharing are welcome such as plants, cuttings, #seedlings, hatching eggs, #kombucha and #YogurtStarters, #salves and other homemade items.

The day’s offerings also include #gardening and #orcharding workshops and demonstrations. Our full list of educational offerings for the day is coming soon!"

#NationalWeekendOfAction #ICEOutForGood

Sat-Sun Jan 10-11

"On Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.

On this National Weekend of Action we stand to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions."

#BCM E-bike Demo – #FalmouthME Community Fest

June 28 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

"The #BicycleCoalitionOfMaine (BCM) is excited about the growing use of e-bikes for transportation and recreation, as they can replace cars for many trips and drive increased investment in active transportation infrastructure. They are also enormously fun!

"Come join us at the Falmouth #Community Fest and see why we’re excited about e-bikes as a fun, eco-friendly form of active transportation! We’ll show you how to operate them, review safety instructions, and lead you on a guided tour so you can feel what electric-assist feels like for yourself. For anyone 18+ (or 16+ with a parent or guardian). This is a great chance to take an e-bike out for a spin to see if you like it."

#PrideMonth kicks off in #Maine with celebrations and resources for #LGBTQ+ community :better_pride: 🏳️‍🌈

by Aysia Reed, June 2nd 2025 at 5:59 AM

#PortlandME (WGME) -- "It's Pride Month and there are multiple celebrations kicking off across the state this June. It's also important to recognize resources available for the #LGBTQ+ community.

#EqualityMaine is an organization working to secure full equality for #LGBTQ+ people.

"They have plenty of resources for LGBTQ+ youth, including what #StudentRights are in #Maine to information about #QueerCamps for ages 13 - 17.

"Equality Maine also has resources for networking for older adults. That includes a virtual statewide social hour on June 11 and a LGBTQ+ lunch in Hallowell at their community center.

"The group says there has been a lot of concern about changes to transgender health care but ensures there are still strong legal protections in Maine for #transgender health care in the state.

"There are Pride celebrations taking place in Portland, #OgunquitME, Lewiston-Auburn, and more this month.

"The #PridePortland Parade and Festival will be held in Portland on June 21.

"It's Maine’s largest Pride parade. It kicks off at 1:30 p.m. at Monument Square with more than 100 groups expecting to march.

"This year's theme is '#MaineTranscends.'

"A three-day Pride celebration will be held in Ogunquit. The weekend Pride celebration kicks off with a Pride Picnic at The Front Porch and a Kick-Off Party at the West Meadow Pub on Friday evening with live music and Pride themed cocktails.

"The main event is a Saturday flag raising in Veteran’s Park, followed by a 'Pride in the Park' event featuring food trucks, live entertainment and LGBTQ+ vendors promoting items, programs and services.

"Folks in Lewiston and Auburn kicked off Pride Month on Sunday with the Great Falls Pride march. The organizers of the event say it’s so valuable to recognize this month.

" 'Given politics and the state of the world right now there is a lot of rhetoric and a lot of strong feelings against our community right now, so I think it’s good to have a space to come together to celebrate and it’s wonderful to see allies together, people show up for us,' said Alex Pine, a #GreatFallsPride organizer.

" '#Queer, #TransPeople, come from all walks of life. We come from all creeds and colors, and it's good for us to come together and see that for each other,' said Beatrice Roseland, who attended the Great Falls Pride march."
