Yarmouth Landfill
BARNSTABLE – The state has launched $4 million dollars in grants for recycling programs statewide.
Some of the money from the Sustainable Materials Recovery Program will support recycling efforts on Cape Cod, diverging waste away from landfills.
Cape and Islands State Senator Julian Cyr says it will help lower emissions and protect fragile environments.
“These Sustainable Materials Recovery grants are a terrific example of how smart investments can help Cape Codders and Islanders reduce waste, lower emissions, and protect our fragile environment. I’m grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the team at MassDEP for continuing to partner with our towns and Barnstable County on practical solutions to build a more sustainable future,” said Cyr in a statement.
The money supports drop off recycling equipment, wheeled carts for curbside collection, and $90,000 specifically to the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension to facilitate food rescue and other sustainable solutions for food waste.
