Plastic has become part of everyday life—but it comes with a lasting impact. This month’s Eastham Recycles newsletter takes a closer look at plastic pollution, what plastics belong in the Transfer Station recycling container (and what doesn’t), and why recycling plastic correctly matters.

You’ll also find Plastic Free July ideas, local plastic-ban updates, upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and simple ways to make a difference. Small changes can have a big impact—check it out!

Tomorrow (Sat May 16) is the Household Hazardous Waste collection day at the Eastham Transfer Station. And just in time, the latest newsletter has been published. This month, we’re focusing on household hazardous waste—those everyday products tucked under sinks, stored in garages, and forgotten on shelves that can pose real risks when thrown away improperly.

Inside this issue, you’ll learn what counts as hazardous waste, why it matters for Cape Cod’s groundwater and public health, and how common items like batteries, paints, propane tanks, smoke detectors, and medications should be handled safely.
