The Town of North Hempstead has a mandatory recycling program for paper, corrugated, cardboard, bottles and cans. Recycling not only lowers our costs (and your taxes), it is the right thing to do for the environment. You can do your part by carefully following the procedures below.

Sort your recycling into TWO categories:

• Paper and Cardboard
• Glass and Plastic (No. 1 and 2 ONLY) and metal cans

Use your recycling bins or other marked containers to sort your materials for recycling. Be sure all material, especially paper and cardboard, is securely tied and/or covered to prevent litter. Plastic recycling is limited to bottles and other plastic with the numbers 1 or 2 on the bottom in a recycling logo. Plastics with the numbers 3 through 7 or unmarked plastics should NOT be separated for recycling. Click here for more specific guidelines on what to recycle and what NOT to recycle. 

Remember that materials for recycling should be placed slightly separated from your regular garbage. Recycling bins are available at Bill's Auto Repair, 1 Main St. Please bring proof of residency in the District.
