Curveball. Plastic bags, bread and produce bags, and wraps cannot go into plastic recycling at the dump — they get tangled in equipment, causing damage and worker injuries. Take them to special bins at Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, or Staples to be recycled into composite building materials. More at recyclesmartma.org and @wellfleetrecyles. [2-2]

It’s a new year, so get inspired. We can’t keep throwing things away because there’s no place that’s “away” anymore. When in doubt, don’t throw it out. Do something drastic, cut out plastic. Remember: reduce, reuse, recycle, and repeat. Never refuse to reuse. Eat, sleep, recycle! Yours, the Eastham Recycling Committee. [1-26]
