ATTENTION!!! |
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPOSAL OF LATEX AND WATER BASED PAINTS - Many Town of North Hempstead residents are under the impression that water-based paints and latex paints are considered hazardous and must be disposed of at a S.T.O.P. Collection Day. This is INCORRECT . Latex and water-based paints, once dried out (usually 24-36 hours after the lid is removed ) can be placed in a trash bag and thrown out with your regular household garbage. Latex and water-based paints will not be accepted at a S.T.O.P. Collection site.
- OIL BASED PAINTS, on the other hand, are considered hazardous , and will be accepted at any S.T.O.P. Collection Day program .
