Dear Neighbor,Hempstead Town is partnering with neighbors to deal with the disposal

of household waste, electronic devices and hazardous materials in an environmentally responsible manner. In fact, we are pursuing environ-mentally progressive initiatives in our sanitation department at the same time as our government has slashed its 2017 budget by over $13 million compared with the 2016 financial document.

Some of the convenient and planet friendly sanitation department offerings for this year include monthly paper shredding events (commencing in March) and the acceptance of e-waste at our Merrick sanitation facility for those who are unable to attend an e-cycle event. What’s more, our town’s S.T.O.P. Program is keeping hazardous materials such as paint, oil and paint thinner out of the waste stream.

Further, a new New York State law provision requires drivers to “move over” if possible for an approaching garbage truck on its daily pickup rounds. Together, we can keep our sanitation workers safer.

Sincerely,

Anthony J. Santino Supervisor

NEW POLICY FOR COLLECTION OF BEDDING

In an attempt to do our part to stop the spread of bedbugs, and protect personnel and our com-munity from this health issue, the town has issued new collection practices for bedding placed at curbside or other designated areas for collection by the department (Special Collection). When discarding any bedding, mattress or box spring, the item must be enclosed in a completely sealed bedbug proof encasement bag. Heavy duty plas-tic bags that new mattresses are delivered in may also be used; however, the mattress must be completely sealed inside the bag. Cases may be purchased at local home improvement stores, department stores and some bedding stores.
