Pollutant disposal program is coming to Baldwin Park

The Town of Hempstead’s S.T.O.P or Stop Throwing Out Pollutants program, announced they are coming to Baldwin to provide community members a place to safely dispose of pollutants.

S.T.O.P will come to Baldwin Park at 3232 South Grand Avenue on Saturday, November 12 for Baldwin residents to safely throw out potentially dangerous items and pollutants. The program is designed to provide members of the public an area to safely dispose of hazardous materials found in the average American household, using environmentally sound methods. 

Toxins like antifreeze drain cleaners, and pesticides can be thrown out on any S.T.O.P collection days and locations, helping to keep dangerous pollutants out of public waterways.

“You and your family can contribute to the protection of our precious groundwater supply and the preservation of our bays and estuaries,” said Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin.
