Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson announced the Town’s S.T.O.P. (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) and Homeowners Cleanup Days this summer, at the Town’s Solid Waste Disposal Complex. Residents can drop off materials at 101 Bethpage-Sweet Hollow Road in Old Bethpage, on the following dates and times:
S.T.O.P. Program – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, July 10th
Saturday, August 7th
Homeowners Cleanup & Paper Shredding – 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The summer months often bring with them opportunities for homeowners to clean out their homes and yards,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “Residents can bring both hazardous and non-hazardous materials to various programs we offer in the Town, helping to protect our environment and make cleanups more convenient.”
The Town’s S.T.O.P. program accepts various hazardous materials, such as gasoline, most pesticides, paint and batteries. The Homeowners Cleanup program accepts non-hazardous waste, including used tires, fence posts, clean broken concrete or yard waste. Paper shredding services (up to four boxes) are also available during the Homeowners Cleanup to residents only, no businesses.
The Town’s S.T.O.P. and Homeowners programs are open to residents within the Town’s Solid Waste Disposal District. Proof of residency is required. For more information, including a full list of what is accepted at these programs, visit www.oysterbaytown.com/cleanup or call (516) 677-5943.
