Town of Hempstead S.T.O.P Chemical/Hazardous Material Disposal Day

The Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (S.T.O.P.) Program is designed to provide area residents with a safe, environmentally sound method of disposal of the many hazardous materials found in the average home.

The next opportunity to dispose of hazardous household materials is on Saturnday, May 9th, 2026 between 8am – 3pm.  This disposal event will take place Baldwin Park at 3232 South Grand Avenue, Baldwin NY,11510

By bringing such toxins as antifreeze, drain cleaners, gasoline, and pesticides on any of the scheduled S.T.O.P. collection days, you and your family can make a significant contribution to the protection of our precious groundwater supply and the preservation of our bays and estuaries. 

Please join us in cleaning our homes of hazardous materials and ensuring their proper collection and disposal. Together, we can ensure the continued integrity of our fragile ecosystem.
