Islip mandates source-separated recycling under Town Code Chapter 47A. Paper and commingled containers collected on alternating weeks. Recycling is mandatory for all residents and businesses; contamination or non-participation may result in fines.
Chapter 47A establishes mandatory recycling program. Paper/cardboard collected one week; metal, glass, and plastics #1-2 collected the alternating week. Materials must be clean and dry, placed in recycling bins (not plastic bags). Islip operates a dual-stream system, not single-stream. Businesses generating recyclables must also comply. NY State General Business Law 399-mm reinforces requirements.
Placing recyclables in garbage or vice versa: warning then 50-250 dollars. Commercial non-compliance subject to Chapter 47A enforcement escalation.
