Sanitary District Two Downsizes, Union Workers Give Back
Sanitary District No. 2 which covers Baldwin, Roosevelt, South Hempstead, and sections of Freeport, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, and Uniondale; realizes that the quality of life and taxes remain a major concern to every taxpayer in the District.
Sanitary District No. 2 is your easiest source of government to reach and the District will continue to work with all residents and business owners with any problems or issues. The District has a strong working relationship with Nassau County and Town of Hempstead. Please contact the District and we will work with you and the proper agency to resolve any issue. All residents can contact the District at either 223-3207 or on our website at www.sani2.com.
The District has also worked to cut costs while expanding our collection services. The District has discontinued the use of costly recycling bags and is now purchasing larger blue boxes to handle the addition of the plastics. (Residents are asked to please crush your plastics before placing in the blue box). The materials collected for recycling has also been expanded and residents are reminded to check the new District flyer that was mailed to every home and business that shows the list of items. This information is also available on the website.
The Board of Commissionershas worked diligently to achieve a minimal tax rate increase of 1.8 percent from 2010 to 2011. The Board of Commissionersand the Unions worked together through collective bargaining to successfully reduce manpower through attrition, roll back salaries of future hires, consolidated the number of collection routes, consolidated the number of recycling routes,all resulting in reduction of fleet size and associated costs.
Sanitary District No. 2 has been working with the other local jurisdictions including the Baldwin Fire and School District, Roosevelt Fire and School District, and the South Hempstead Fire District and BOCES to develop inter-municipal agreements to achieve additional savings to our taxpayers.
The Board of Commissioners and Staff of Sanitary District No. 2 will continue to work to reduce costs and foster cost saving agreements with other jurisdictions and ultimately provide the best service at a fiscally responsible rate.
