Showing ordinances that apply to Malverne Park Oaks, NY
Malverne Park Oaks is an unincorporated community (population 538) in Nassau County, New York. Because Malverne Park Oaks is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Nassau County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The recycling requirements rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Nassau County and all its municipalities mandate source-separated recycling under NY ECL 27-0717 and Local Law 11-1988. Paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass, and rigid plastics (#1-2, sometimes #1-7) must be separated from garbage. Contamination can result in refusal of pickup.
Nassau County Local Law 11-1988 (Solid Waste Management and Recycling) requires mandatory source-separation of designated recyclables. Most jurisdictions collect paper and cardboard one week, commingled containers (metal, glass, plastic #1 and #2) the next, on alternating schedules. Plastic bags, film, and styrofoam are NOT accepted curbside; retail take-back programs handle plastic bags. New York's statewide plastic bag ban (ECL 27-2801) eliminates most thin-film bags at retail. Nassau enforces the NY Returnable Container Act (Bigger Better Bottle Bill) requiring 5-cent deposits on beverage containers.
Failure to separate recyclables may result in refusal of pickup and tagging of containers. Repeated violations draw 100 to 500 dollar fines under Local Law 11-1988.
