In 1996, the Village Board of Trustees adopted a local law establishing an Environmental Commission. Its purpose is to study the environment in and around the Village, and to make recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding actions to be taken by the village to protect and improve the environment.

There are eight Commissioners, a Trustee Chairperson and Trustee Deputy, and various alternates, who serve the interests of the public, without compensation. Each serve one or two year terms, and are appointed by the Mayor.

Please call the Village Office for the exact dates and times of the next meeting.

S.T.O.P

The Town's Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (S.T.O.P.) and E-Waste programs offer residents the opportunity to conveniently dispose of hazardous household waste and electronics in an environmentally friendly manner.

Many people do not realize that many common household products such as paints and cleaners can be corrosive, explosive and toxic if mixed indiscriminately with regular household garbage. Moreover, typical electronic products such as DVD player, cell phones and computers may contain lead, mercury, of arsenic that, if not dispose of properly, could seep into the ground water.

The S.T.O.P. Hotline is 516-767-4600
