Plandome Heights is a member of the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee [MBPC] and we maintain a presence at their meetings. Our Building Inspector, Edward Butt, AIA, is our Storm Water Management Officer. We file an “MS4” Annual Report with New York State each year regarding our relationship with the local waterway including handling of storm water waste, educational opportunities for the public with regard to environmental concerns, etc.. Plandome Heights is committed to working collaboratively with MBPC and our neighboring municipalities in protecting Manhasset Bay.

Sanitation
Effective immediately, there will be changes in the Village Waste Management.  See following link – Change in Village Waste Management

 As a reminder, Plandome Heights requires the homeowner to obtain a permit for any containers (including “Pods”), in advance of installation.

Trash is normally collected three times per week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the west side of the village, and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for the east side of the village.  We pay to have your household garbage and recyclables removed from the rear or side of your home.

Trash is not collected on the holidays listed below. If the holiday falls on a day during which your trash is normally scheduled for pick-up, your trash will be picked up on your next regularly scheduled day instead.

New Year’s Day	Labor Day
Martin Luther King Day	Columbus Day
Presidents’ Day	Veterans’ Day
Memorial Day	Thanksgiving Day
Independence Day	Christmas Day

Acceptable waste is generated from normal day-to-day operation of the household and kitchen. This includes all food waste, fish, meats, and vegetables, paper packages, etc. (see below for recycling information). Garbage should be stored in closed, leak proof metal or plastic containers. Garbage is collected from ONE location only. A maximum of six (6) thirty gallon cans or equivalent will be collected each day.

Plandome Heights is a village of residents who care about our environment. As such, we have adopted Village Code that covers the depositing of debris in public places as well as where homeowners’ garbage receptacles may be located:

Receptacles for garbage shall not be kept nearer to any roadway or street than the wall of the residence fronting on an adjacent roadway or street, except receptacles for garbage may be placed in front of the wall of said residence after the sundown of the day preceding a day designated for garbage collection.
3. Debris or trash shall not be placed for collection in front of premises until sundown of the day before pickup.
