No doubt tired of sounding like a private company, Regional Waste Systems' board elected to change its name to a more environmentally friendly sounding ECOMAINE. The agency serves 27 municipalities and is owned by 21 of them. Much of the waste is transported to the agency's waste-to-energy plant in Portland ME where it is converted to electricity that is in turn sold to Constellation Energy Group. The name change is the latest step in the agency's effort to reorganize, operate more efficiently and expand its already extensive recycling efforts.
