Residential and Commercial Recycling

Commingled Recycling Services

This service is offered by Pina Sanitation on a bi-weekly basis. This type of recycling service makes it easier for you to recycle. Place all of your clean plastic, glass, and aluminum in one unit. You may also place cardboard and newspaper next to the bin provided. They have to be bagged or tied together with twine.

Recycling is not only the law in Massachusetts but it is also a way for us to do our part in recycling for the future of the Cape Cod.
