Code of Massachusetts Regulation 310 CMR 19.000 requires that ALL recyclable materials be diverted from general trash/construction and demolition activities and deposited within an appropriate recycling stream within a designated recycling area.
Bulk materials drop-offs for base residents are planned to be conducted during designated base-wide clean up events. These dates will be advertised in base notifications distributed by the USCG’s Local Area Housing Management Office to serve on-base USCG residents and staff only. Base residents are encouraged to dispose of household hazardous waste through collection events scheduled by the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Program. Information on this program can be found by accessing the following website: https://www.capecodextension.org/hazardouswaste/hhw/. If you have household hazardous waste that you need to coordinate disposal of prior to these scheduled weeks please contact Environmental Health and Safety's Recycling Center Manager at 508-968-6468 or 774-994-1415.
