Nauset Disposal Awarded Cape Cod’s Best Green Business
May 29, 2019 Orleans, MA – Nauset Disposal was recently awarded the 2019 Cape Cod’s Best Green Business or Organization. The inaugural Cape Cod’s Best competition was hosted by the Cape Cod Times and included voting from readers across the region. “Being ‘environmentally friendly’ is part of our mission statement. We understand the sensitivity of our local surroundings. Often considered a less than glamorous business, it is important to lead by example,” says Shawn DeLude, President of Nauset Disposal. “Being ‘green’ isn’t just a phrase at Nauset Disposal, it’s a practice. I would encourage more companies to stop talking and start doing. We all have a responsibility to protect our environment.”
