*PLASTICS AND TINS*
Must Now Be Separated
In order to reduce the increasing costs of Recycling, the Transfer Station will now have separate containers for your plastic and tin recyclables.
This simple change will allow us generate revenue from the metals (instead of paying for it) and reduce the number of loads of plastic that must be hauled to Off Cape facilities for processing.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in adapting to the ever evolving landscape of solid waste disposal.
