Discover Provincetown’s hidden recycling haven -- aka the town dump. We love this insider’s view of a local transfer station and are pleased to note their Recycling Rules app jives with Recycle Smart MA! 🎉

(Yes, we see them putting black plastic in the recycling, but we still love this video! Black plastic is a no for curbside recycling across the state and, if you check Recycling Rules, it’s a no in P-Town, too. Sorry. 🥲)

Got a pile like this at home? 😅 Here’s your reminder that plastic bags do NOT go in your recycling bin. They get tangled in machinery at materials recovery facilities and can cause worker injuries. Take them to a drop-off location. Learn more: link in bio 

Choose to refuse plastic bags and bring your own bag shopping!
