BOTTLES – THROW OUT YOUR CAPS! Please do not recycle soda bottles with caps on. A human musst then twist off your bottle cap then dispose of said cap in the refuse. Bottle Caps are NOT recyclable. If you leave your caps on, this translates into labor and time which then translates into more expensive costs which is then transferred to the consumer. Did you know that in 2017 over 350 labor hours were spent removing caps from bottles?
Also – DO NOT dispose construction materials in Town Dumpsters. TOWN DUMPSTERS ARE NOT CONSTRUCTION BINS. It only takes one person to ruin the convenience for us all.

The Town of Long Lake and NYS DOT ask that you limit trips through the work area on 28N. DOT is letting us get through for health and safety reasons but must slow their work significantly to allow this traffic. Please work together with neighbors, family, and friends to reduce the number of trips to the transfer station needed. Sight-seeing traffic is strongly discouraged as it presents a significant safety risk and slows work.
