The Cape Cod Commission's mission focuses on Environmental Quality. Managing the various waste streams on Cape Cod is critical to protecting our air, soil, and drinking water supplies. View the Waste Management section of the Regional Policy Plan here.

As technology progresses, our 'waste' is actually growing in value and becoming an important commodity in energy production. The Commission is committed to pursuing regional collaborations for the purpose of managing the Cape's various waste streams and leveraging these materials in ways that protect our environment and promote renewable sources of energy.
