LINDENHURST VILLAGE GOES GREEN THIS AUTUMN

New Biodegradable Leaf Bags are Part of a Village-Wide Effort to Help Raise Environmental Awareness

The Lindenhurst Village DPW trucks made their annual rounds in early November to distribute packets of leaf bags to residents who immediately noticed a difference. The bags, seafoam green in color, were bigger and stronger than in years past. More importantly the Village utilized ones that are environmentally sound. 

Mayor Thomas Brennan stated, “The leaf bags are now biodegradable. Everyone, in every way they can, should make an effort to insure the sustainability of our planet for future generations and this is one way that Lindenhurst Village is contributing to that effort”.

As a reminder leaves are collected village wide each Wednesday. Leaf bags should be placed at the curbside no earlier than 7pm on Tuesday evening and no later than 7am on Wednesday morning for pick up on Wednesdays.

Please check the village sanitation calendar for any changes due to holidays.  Calendar is available online for review at www.villageoflindenhurst.com.
