Rental companies are exceptionally busy during the summer and at peak holiday times, and your fax might be one of a few dozen that come in over the course of a day. Trash Pickup and Recycling Town or county garbage collectors gather the trash from in front of rental cottages at least twice a week during the summer and once a week during the slower seasons. Know which days the trash will be picked up. Your rental company will usually supply this information in your check-in packet. When you check out, bag your refuse securely and make sure the receptacle sits beside the road.
Recycling is usually the renter's responsibility.
Some communities provide recycling service and the proper bins, but in most areas you'll need to carry your recyclables to one of the collection points. Ask your rental company for the location nearest your cottage and for instructions on sorting. Many beach access areas now have recycling bins in addition to trash cans for you to deposit cans or bottles as you leave the shore. Thank you for doing your part to help preserve these beaches for everyone.
