(BALDWIN, ROOSEVELT and SOUTH HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.) - Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) presented two Community Revitalization Project (CRP) grants, totaling $100,725.50, for Sanitary District 2 on Wednesday, Aug. 5.
The grant funds, which were approved by the Legislature on July 27, will be applied toward the purchase and installation of 10 Bigbelly Smart Max single station solar compactors and the necessary software, subscriptions and equipment to operate the receptacles, which will be deployed strategically within the sanitation district on County roads with high foot traffic. The remainder of the funds will be used to buy 24 Ironsites Series 45-gallon litter receptacles.
“We are grateful to receive this Community Revitalization Program grant to support the purchase of new litter baskets and Bigbelly Solar garbage pails throughout Baldwin, Roosevelt and South Hempstead,” said Sanitary District 2 Commissioner LeRoy Roberts. “This funding will strengthen our efforts to keep public spaces clean, reduce litter, and improve the quality of life for our residents.”
“Every time we keep garbage off the streets and get it into receptacles where it belongs, we are taking a simple, but important, step toward improving our quality of life and keeping our communities beautiful,” Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Mulé said. “With our focus on the downtown revitalization of Baldwin, it the perfect time to equip Sani 2 with these enhanced resources, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to do so.”
