The Hampden waste plant.

An organization representing 115 Maine towns and cities has finalized the sale of a shuttered Hampden waste facility to a new majority owner.

A company called Innovative Resource Recovery now owns 90% of the facility and aims to fully restart it by early 2025. The Municipal Review Committee still has a 10% share.

The plant closed in 2020 amid startup and financial challenges. In the meantime, communities have been forced to send much of their trash to landfills or incinerators.
