- As of 12/21/23, Public Works is going around town mulching brush that is 3" or less. If you have small brush that you would like us to mulch please leave the brush in a pile near the road, but near the woods so that the mulch will not be left in a pile on the lawn. You are also welcomed to take your brush (3" or less) directly to Public Works at the old brush pile which is at the top left corner of the facility. It is under the shadow of the cell tower.

- The Town of Orrington administers a General Assistance Program. Persons who wish to apply for General Assistance may do so at the Town Office Monday - Friday 9:00am - 4:00pm. People are encouraged to call 207-825-3340, ext. 6 and make an appointment with the General Assistance Director. If the Director is not available at the time of the call, a message should be left on the answering machine with a name and telephone number. The Director will return the call as soon as possible. If it is an emergency during non-business hours, call 207-945-4636 (Penobscot County Regional Communications Center) to get a message to the General Assistance Director. To protect the applicant's confidentiality, staff at the Town Office are discouraged from becoming involved with walk-ins and telephone calls and will refer the client to the General Assistance Director's voicemail to leave a message. General Assistance is intended to provide immediate aid within 24 hours of an application for people who are unable to provide for themselves or their families with basic necessities (food, shelter, utilities, clothing, fuel, and other items). The Town Officers of the Town of Orrington have adopted an Ordinance establishing the General Assistance Program pursuant to Title 22 MRSA §4305.
