The Municipal Review Committee (MRC) is a Maine non-profit corporation dedicated to ensuring affordable, long-term, and environmentally sound disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) for its members. MRC serves municipalities, refuse disposal districts, public waste disposal corporations, and other public entities in central and eastern Maine, managing MSW generated by households, businesses, and institutions.
Since 2013, the MRC has focused on developing a new advanced recycling facility in Hampden, Maine, to serve 115 municipalities. While the facility was initially developed under Coastal Resources of Maine, LLC, they were unable to fulfill their role in the operation.
As of June 2023, the MRC has partnered with Innovative Resource Recovery, LLC, a company focused on creating environmentally sustainable solutions for the waste industry. Led by a team of experienced executives in waste, energy, and finance, Innovative is dedicated to recovering valuable resources from waste streams. Innovative is a portfolio company of White Oak Global Advisors, LLC, a private credit firm that provides small and middle-market businesses with creative financing solutions.
The MRC remains confident that through these partnerships, it will continue to fulfill its mission of providing affordable, long-term, and environmentally sound waste management solutions for its members, while minimizing the need for landfill disposal.
