S.T.O.P. and electronic waste collection day scheduled for September The sixth of eight Household Hazardous Waste Disposal programs (S.T.O.P.-Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) and Electronic Waste Collection days for Oyster Bay Town residents only is scheduled for Saturday, September 15, according to Town Councilman Anthony D. Macagnone. The collection day will be held at the Town's Solid Waste Disposal Complex, Bethpage-Sweet Hollow Road, Old Bethpage, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Residents who would like further information can call 677-5943. The Town has an informative brochure about the S.T.O.P. and Electronic Waste Collection programs, including a list of what can be disposed of through both programs and the schedule of collection days and locations for 2007. Any resident or organization interested in obtaining a free brochure should write the Town of Oyster Bay Public Information Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall East, 54 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, NY 11771 or call 624-6380. Under the program, the Town accepts computer monitors and hard drives, printers, keyboards, mice and cables, copiers and fax machines, cell phones, pagers, VCRs and stereos. Supreme Computer & Electronic Recycling, Inc., a company specializing in e-waste recycling, will collect the items and recycle the components, thereby ensuring that they will not end up in a landfill or incinerator.
The Councilman noted that additional S.T.O.P./ Electronic Waste Collection dates for 2007 are: Saturday, October 13, Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Rd., Massapequa; and Sunday, November 18, Town of Oyster Bay Department of Public Works Garage, 150 Miller Pl., Syosset.
