Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (second from left) joins with Town Councilman Lou Imbroto, Councilwoman Laura Maier and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato remind residents to begin recycling glass in the new year, as well as bundle cardboard beside their recycling pails. The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that the town will start accepting glass along with plastics in residents' yellow recycling pails. Beginning in January, the Town will return glass to its recycling collection, allowing residents to place plastics, metals and glass all in their yellow collection pail. In addition, officials reminded residents to help turn ‘trash into cash’ by recycling cardboard, which should be
bundled and placed beside recycling containers on collection day. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said, “Residents can help protect the environment and turn trash into cash by recycling glass and cardboard boxes on their regular recycling collection day. In addition to expanding the recycling program to include additional types of plastic, we will also return glass to the recycling stream. The Town of Oyster Bay is com-
mitted to being a regional recycling leader and I thank you in advance for helping us reach that goal.” Officials also reminded residents to bundle their cardboard and paper products beside their yellow recycling pail, either broken down and placed inside a larger box or bundled with string. Residents can expect to see individual pickups for these items, with separate collections for cardboard from other recycling.
