Recently our staff members have been concerned with the amount of plastic trash that is produced everyday here at the hospital. Items such as plastic wrap that is used to protect the products that are packaged and shipped to us, to plastic trays that our vaccines are stored in the amount we produce on a daily basis is a concern to us.

Beth the hospitalʼs grooming assistant has organized a new recycling program to aid in reducing waste that goes into landfills. By finding a local recycling center in East Wareham, MA Beth is contributing her time by bringing the recycling to the center on her way home once a week.

We have so much plastic that comes to us on a daily basis and any bit that we can recycle contributes a lot to the health of our planet. We have started by recycling plastic and card board and this is only the beginning! Our green goals are to reduce our overall operating cost and conserve our recourses.You will see more “green” updates as we improve our program.
