Shell collection at Orleans Farmers' Market
Contribute your personal oyster shells to our recycling effort. Stop by our booth at the Farmers’ market. Our staff and volunteers will collect any shell and answer questions you have about MOP or oysters.
Tips for recycling shell
Only recycle shells, not trash - Sort out any trash before you bring your shells. Separate napkins, lemon slices, and any other trash and dispose of them separately.
Rinse off sauces - You don’t have to do this, but It’s always a good idea. You don’t need to pick shells clean or clean them with soap and water, but a quick rinse in the sink or hose off outside will speed up the natural cleaning process.
