Welcome to the 23rd Annual
Maine Recycling and Solid Waste
Conference & Trade Show
Welcome to the 23rd Annual Maine Recycling and Solid Waste Conference & Trade Show!
For the past 30 years, Maine Resource Recovery Association (MRRA) has made it our mission to promote environmentally sound and economically sustainable solutions in the
recycling and solid waste industry for municipalities throughout Maine.
This year, our theme “Beyond Recycling: Materials Management and A Circular Economy”
represents the next chapter for the industry and for MRRA.
The world of recycling and solid waste is dynamic and continues to evolve… and so must
MRRA. Now is not a time to sit still in the ever changing landscape of recycling and solid
waste options. Innovation is necessary to close the loop.
Our first step is to increase MRRA’s accessibility. In the past six months, MRRA has developed a new and more user friendly website and have modernized our brand with a new
logo. Both are being seen at this year’s conference for the first time. We are also ramping
up our education and outreach efforts as we strive to become THE statewide recycling resource for municipalities, businesses, and individuals alike.
The core of our organization is and will always be our valued members. This annual conference is paramount to our work in education and outreach. Let us know how we as an
organization can better serve you. We welcome your feedback!
Please, enjoy this year’s Conference & Trade Show and thank you for your many years of
continued support!

One of the most impressive sustainable practices at the Samoset
is the composting policy, which
benefits the resort, guests and the
local community. Organic food
waste from the kitchen is sent to
Earthly Fertilizers, a local farm
located in Appleton. The food is
then converted to compost and
supplied to area farms as soil
amendments for their crops and
animal feed. A portion of the
compost is also returned to the
resort and used in the flower and
herb gardens. Executive Chef Tim
Pierce and his culinary staff use
these flowers and herbs to decorate plates and complement signature dishes, which also showcase fresh ingredients from local
farms, artisans and fishermen
whenever possible.
The Samoset’s composting program is a prime example of how
Maine resorts and community
programs can work together to
reduce the waste in our landfills
while providing resources that
support local farms.
Samoset Resort also partners with
Clean the World by donating
guests’ leftover soap and shampoo to be recycled. Rather than
discarding these products to overflowing landfills, the soap is melted down and sterilized before being distributed to impoverished
countries around the world.

Tuesday, May 3rd at 7:30pm
Karen was born and

Georgia but now calls
Maine home. A former trial attorney, she
began her professional

can be heard on Sirius
XM Radio and nationally syndicated radio shows.
A fixture on the Boston
comedy circuit, Robbie
got his start in 1988
and has been performing ever since. He made
the rounds on the Cable
Comedy shows, including MTV, A&E and Comedy Central. He won the
Boston Comedy Festival

the Improper Bostonian.
Still licensed to practice law in Maine and Georgia,
Karen lives in Cumberland, Maine with her husband, three kids and a big dumb dog.
Laughter is the best medicine, so go see Robbie
Printz and laugh about life, or laugh at him about
his life. Either way you’ll feel better.
