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.

Your food scraps don’t belong in the trash—they can become healthy soil!

This month, Eastham Recycles is spotlighting food composting. Drop off scraps at the Transfer Station—but no plastic bags (even “biodegradable”). Use certified compostable bags or paper only.

Small changes make a big difference—let’s keep Eastham clean and green!
