Tobay Homeowners Cleanup Program Set for Saturday

Saturday marks the last date for the 2014 homeowners cleanup program for Town of residents.

The program allows residents within the town’s solid waste disposal district to take unwanted, non-hazardous trash to the town’s solid waste disposal comple at 101 Bethpage-Sweet Hollow Road in Old Bethpage, from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.,

“If you have been putting off cleaning up clutter from your home, garage, or storage shed, then Nov. 16 is the perfect day to gather and bring any waste to be disposed before the winter season sets in,” Councilman Joseph Pinto said, in a press release.

Proof of district residency must be shown. Additionally, if you plan to bring any boats or trailers, proof of ownership must be provided and the items must be signed over to the town. Boats must be drained of all oil, gas and other fluids, and all batteries must be removed.

Bushes, tree limbs, fence posts and similar items will be accepted as is and need not be broken into smaller pieces. Used tires, large metal items in excess of four feet, clean fill, clean broken concrete, and boats and boat trailers will also be accepted. Passenger cars, vans, pickup trucks and small trailers are admitted to the program. Six-wheel or larger vehicles are not permitted.
