RECYCLING ALERT

Due to a change in market conditions we will still collect all recycling on your current day. We would appreciated if you can separate your cardboard from your other recycling and just place it alongside the pail. There will be two different trucks picking up your recycling on the same day. If you have any questions please call us @ (516) 599-8838 – THANK YOU

With the rapid pace at which technology is advancing, people are purchasing new computer systems, televisions, DVD players and other electronic components in record numbers. Industry experts estimate that American consumers dispose of 400 million units of electronic equipment per year. Recycling electronic waste protects the environment by keeping toxic materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic from entering the waste stream. Hempstead Town has taken responsible and proactive steps to ensure that your old electronic equipment can be recycled and disposed of properly by holding four E-cycling events each year. In accordance with the New York State Electronic Recycling and Reuse Act of 2010, beginning January 1, 2015 consumers are prohibited from disposing of electronic waste at any solid waste management facility or placing electronic waste in the trash or at curbside for trash collection.

All televisions, computers, computer components (including cables, cords and wiring), monitors, tablets, e-readers, electronic keyboards, fax machines, scanners, VCRs, DVD players, electronic and video game consoles and portable digital music players will be accepted for recycling at each of our E-cycling programs. Residents served by the Town of Hempstead Department of Sanitation may arrange for a Special Pickup of electronic waste by calling (516) 378-8484. Residents can also contact the manufacturer to obtain information on how to recycle the equipment.
