TONH Announces S.T.O.P., E-Waste and Pharmaceutical Collection Event
North Hempstead, NY—Supervisor Jon Kaiman and the North Hempstead Town Board reminded residents today to take advantage of the upcoming Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (STOP) program on Saturday, September 12 at Michael J. Tully Park from 9:30am to 3:00pm.
“North Hempstead recognizes the potential dangers of the improper disposal of household hazardous products,” said Supervisor Kaiman. “To address these concerns, North Hempstead offers residents an environmentally friendly way to dispose of household hazardous waste.”
Residents can return items such as aerosols, household chemicals, pesticides, disinfectants, fertilizers, bulbs, painting products, thermostats, batteries, cell phones and computers. In addition, following the very successful debut of the Town’s Pharmaceutical Drop-off program on June 6, 2009, residents can also dispose of outdated pharmaceuticals in an environmentally friendly manner at the September 12 S.T.O.P. date and location.
For more information on the S.T.O.P. program, please call 311.
