Trash Bags

Submitted by Froggy_Study t3_1202d6e in Maine

Good day. I recently have moved to old orchard beach and was told that I have to buy city trash bags. I was told I could buy them at a local Walgreens or CVS but was told they don't sell them. So does anyone know where I'd buy them?

I don’t know how it works in OOB, but in Portland, you have to ask for them at the checkout

Hannaford might sell them. Try the one in Saco, or if they're not in stock there, try the one in Biddo.

I’ve lived in OOB for a few years now and been using random trash bags the entire time. If there is a city bag it definitely isn’t enforced.

Or you could just answer the question that is being asked on Reddit and save OP a step since, y'know, they're asking here and not on Google. Someone answered with a single word and it took them 5 seconds to type it.

I used to live in OOB. Go down to the town clerk they have them there for a pretty penny

Local people are likely knowledgeable and can provide specific help over local questions. This is exactly what Reddit as a communication tool is good for. How is that lazy? Makes no sense. Find a hobby for fk sakes.

I've lived in OOB for the last 3 years. Never used a special trash bag. Just regular old glad bags. 🤷‍♀️

The blue bags are for extra trash. You’re allowed two bags or two trash cans per week and if you have more than two full trash cans to throw away you need to use the blue bags. And I believe you get them from town hall. This is what I remember being told years ago, I don’t know if anything has changed since then.

Sometimes people in your community know better than a quick google search will yield. Even if it’s easily googleable, it’s really not a big deal. You’re coming off as deranged here for caring that much.

I think Hanson’s Hardware store might have them

The local hannaford/stop and shop. I bet the cities website will have more information or very least a number you can call to talk to someone that works for the city.
