A site-assignment decision ahead
Bourne’s Board of Health will hold a hearing November 17, 2026, at 6 p.m. in Room 2 of the Veterans Memorial Community Center in Buzzards Bay. The proposal would relocate transfer operations from 201 to 325 MacArthur Boulevard, with no increase in permitted waste tonnage.
The November 9 notice retains earlier, now-passed intervention deadlines. Written comments can still be directed to the Board of Health through the notice’s contact information.
Why the town proposes the move
The town’s project page says two existing transfer stations would be replaced by one consolidated facility as the landfill expands southward. The new operation would handle household waste, construction debris and recyclables, and is intended to continue serving the area after the landfill closes.
Application documents are available on that page. The hearing concerns approval of the proposed site assignment; the new facility is not announced as open.
