TV's, Personal Computers and Monitors: These items can be brought to a Westchester County Household Chemical Cleanup Day Event. These items can be brought to Brookfield Metal Company in Elmsford (914-592-5250). These items can be brought to the Highway Garage.

Oil and Batteries:

Recycle motor oil at a service station or a retail outlet that sells motor oil. Drain used oil into a clean container with a tight fitting lid. Do not mix the oil with any other fluid such as antifreeze, break fluid or gasoline. For oil filters, first drain the oil from the filters. Pour the oil into a clean container for delivery to a service station as described above. Drained filters should be wrapped in newspaper and disposed of in the garbage.

Recycle vehicle batteries at the retailers who sell them. New York State Law requires retailers to accept, free of charge, up to two batteries (used or unused) per person per month.

Paint: Empty paint cans should be disposed of in your garbage with the lid off the can. Liquid paint should be hardened by mixing it with kitty litter (clay-type without chemical additives) or other absorbent pellet material (such as Speedi-Dry) until no liquid remains. Once dry leave the top off. Bring paint to the Highway Department and 43 Columbus Avenue, Mount Kisco.

Yard Waste:

Place your yard waste at the curb Monday - Wednesday. Leaves and grass clippings must be placed in biodegradable bags. These bags may be purchased at Village Hall Tax Office. Tree trimmings and brush must be tied in four-foot bundles.

Don't forget your sidewalks!!!

Please be courteous to your neighbor and remember to maintain your sidewalk - it's the law. The Village Code requires you to "keep the sidewalk free from weeds, rubbish, debris and other waste material which may interfere with a pedestrian's use of the sidewalk." Also remember that following a snow storm you must clean your sidewalk within 24 hours after the end of the storm. Also remember to widen your sidewalk so that wheelchairs can pass through.
