Bourne has been awarded funds for three renewable energy projects from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust for a project that furthers the Commonwealth’s clean energy goals.
Bourne will receive:
$4,657 to purchase one BigBelly Solar Trash Compaction System. This unit is powered by solar photovoltaic technology and will help Bourne reduce trash collections, reduce litter and generally improve the Town’s waste management operations. ...
“This funding will help the town of Bourne educate the public and work towards a cleaner more energy efficient future. I am impressed with their dedication to this cause,” said State Rep. Matthew Patrick, D-Falmouth.
Dozens of other communities are also using this matching funding for projects such as solar electric arrays, solar trash compactors, renewable energy educational materials, and other renewable energy projects and related materials.
