Showing ordinances that apply to Great Neck Gardens, NY
Great Neck Gardens is an unincorporated community (population 1,268) in Nassau County, New York. Because Great Neck Gardens is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Nassau County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The pickup rules & schedules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Nassau County does not run a countywide collection service. Trash and recycling pickup is handled by towns, villages, sanitation districts, and private haulers. Most residents receive twice-weekly garbage and weekly recycling pickup under local sanitary district rules.
Nassau County has more than 30 sanitary districts plus town-run sanitation programs (Town of Oyster Bay Department of Environmental Resources, Town of North Hempstead Solid Waste Management Authority, Town of Hempstead Department of Sanitation) and private contractors in some villages. Typical schedule: two garbage days and one recycling day per week. Set-out windows usually run from 5 PM the evening before through 7 AM pickup day. County-level oversight comes through Nassau County Department of Public Works but operations are local. Long Island's waste is largely exported since the Brookhaven landfill closure, increasing tipping fees countywide.
Early or late set-out violations typically draw 50 to 250 dollar fines under town sanitation codes. Repeat violations may be prosecuted as misdemeanors.
