Green Holidays

The town reminds residents to recycle used Christmas trees and unwanted electronics.

Recycled trees are turned into mulch for gardening and landscaping. And properly recycling electronics keep lead, mercury and arsenic out of landfills, which helps prevent toxins from seeping into drinking water.

For more information on “Tree-Cycling”, call 311 or visit www.northhempsteadny.gov.

To recycle Christmas lights, bring them to 999 West Shore Road in Roslyn on Sundays, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. until the end of January.  

Residents can recycle unwanted electronics through the town’s EPA certified e-waste recycler, which disassembles the items, salvages the useable parts, separates out potentially damaging materials, and recycles the balance.

E-waste collection dates, and drop-off locations include:

Great Neck                 North Middle School                          Jan. 25 -26

Herricks                                    Jan 23-24

Manhasset                  Manhasset Middle/High School          Jan 30-31

Port Washington                           Jan. 26-27

East Williston             Wheatley High School                        Feb. 2-3

Hours: 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.

In addition, e-waste disposal is available to residents at 999 West Shore Road, Roslyn; Sundays only, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm (excluding holidays). It is also available at the Solid Waste Management Authority (SWMA), 802 West Shore Road, Port Washington Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding holidays.

For more information call 311.

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.

Apparently Ms. De Giorgio isn't aware that there already IS a "train depot" in PortRead More Washington. Thanks for the link, very interesting explanation of the LIRR's options. I was unaware that LIRR owned the West side lot which, as the article states, makes the question of yard expansion moot. It's going to happen. Ms. De Giorgio should stop posturing and start advocating for the best solution for Port residents within the limited choices.

Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.

I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.
