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 find information about what to recycle on the Town of North Hempstead web site.
Recyclables are collected on one of your regular collection days, as shown on the collection map on the Home Page. Set out your recycling at the curb by 7 AM on your recycling day. Route pick-up times are subject to change.
