Where Did the Redeemables Go?

If you’ve visited the Eastham Transfer Station recently, you may have noticed that the area for redeemable “Bottle Bill” bottles and cans has been closed. The Recycling Committee is currently exploring new ways to continue this long-standing community effort.

According to a notice on the Town of Eastham website:

After careful review, the Town of Eastham and the Eastham Elementary School Parents Group (EESPG) have decided to terminate the Bottles & Cans (B&C) recycling program effective October 1, 2025. The long-running initiative, which has been operating since 2000, has supported various EESPG initiatives and the maintenance of the Field of Dreams through revenue raised from redeemed bottles and cans.
