Beach committee approves Cape Cod Paws of Comfort cleanup at Mayflower Beach
Summary
The South Dennis Beach Committee unanimously approved an application from Cape Cod Paws of Comfort to run a volunteer cleanup at Mayflower Beach on April 18, 2026, and agreed to provide logistical support and publicity materials.
The South Dennis Beach Committee voted unanimously Jan. 8 to accept an application from Cape Cod Paws of Comfort to run a volunteer cleanup at Mayflower Beach on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Jace Carpenter, representing Cape Cod Paws of Comfort, told the committee the organization ran a cleanup last year with about 10 volunteers and removed six bags of trash. “We were able to take 6 bags of trash off the beach,” Carpenter said, and proposed repeating the event in April with no food or merchandise sales.
Committee member Mark moved to accept the application; Connie seconded the motion and the chair called for a voice vote. The chair announced the motion carried unanimously; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
Members discussed logistics after the vote: Carpenter said the group would send the committee the requested application/letter by email, and committee members offered promotional help. The committee agreed Dustin (staff member) could supply trash bags and that photographic material from last year would be useful for a flyer.
The committee asked that the applicant provide the finalized letter/documentation so staff can forward it to the Select Board or include it in follow-up communications. No additional conditions or permits were recorded in the committee’s discussion.
The cleanup is scheduled for April 18, 2026, at Mayflower Beach, 10 a.m.–noon, and the committee will coordinate collection logistics and promotional materials.
