 Cape Cod is an arm-shaped peninsula forming the Easternmost portion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Like Cape Cod itself, the islands south of Cape Cod have turned from being whaling and trading areas to resort destinations for the Northeast, attracting old, wealthy families, celebrities, and prosperous tourists alike. The islands include Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, as well as the Elizabeth Island chain, which includes the Forbes family-owned Naushon Island, which was purchased by John Murray Forbes with profits from opium dealing in the China trade during the Opium War. Several prominent families have established compounds or estates on the larger islands, making these Cape Cod offshore islands some of the wealthiest resorts in the Northeast, yet they retain much of the early merchant trading and whaling culture.

If you are looking at visiting, Cape Cod certainly offers the best to its visitors.

News and Announcements Expanded Recycling for Plastics at Transfer Station |
EXPANDED RECYCLING FOR PLASTICS
The Town of Eastham now accepts Plastics 1 – 7 for recycling at the Transfer Station (previously the Town accepted only Plastics 1 & 2). The Plastic code number can be found within the triangle on the item.
Recycling these items is good for the environment, reduces our Country’s demand for the oil used to make virgin plastic, and saves Eastham residents tax dollars.
When plastic is thrown in the trash, Eastham pays to transport and dispose of the items at SEMASS. When the plastic item is recycled, a vendor picks up the plastic at the transfer station at no cost to the Town.
Examples of Recyclable 1 - 7 Plastic
All beverage bottles
All bottles with necks
Bathroom (shampoo, mouthwash)
Containers – please rinse well
Cups (no Styrofoam)
Household cleaners (dish detergent, glass & kitchen cleaners)
Kitchen (Cooking Oil, ketchup, mustard, syrup) Laundry (detergent, bleach, fabric softener)
Milk, juice & water jugs (caps can be left on once they are cleaned)
Plates
Soap bottles
Sherbet tubs
Tub lids
