Earth Day 2025 Event a Great Success
By all accounts, MEC’s 2nd Annual Earth Day Event, co-sponsored by the Mashpee Department of Public Works, was a great success. On April 19th within a four-hour time period, over 250 residents and their families dropped off the following items at the Mashpee Senior Center – thus keeping them all out of our landfill:
- 6,500 lbs. of textiles for recycling
- 4,056 lbs. of documents for shredding
- 463 lbs. of media storage items for recycling
That same day, a number of residents also picked up literature about composting along with a food waste container for their kitchen counter or yard. While we are appreciative of the Mashpee Enterprise for their great coverage, and our business partners, Bay State Textiles, Great White Shred, and TerraCycle, we are most grateful to all the residents of Mashpee who participated that day and made this Earth Day event so very successful.
