Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) will be conducting a Household Recycling Day (HRD) Event on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sprain Ridge Park, 149 Jackson Avenue, Yonkers. The upcoming HRD event in Yonkers will be the second HRD event of 2024, and gives residents across the County an opportunity to conveniently and safely dispose of household waste.
In addition to properly labelled household chemicals, tires, scrap metal, electronics, appliances and other special wastes found in a typical household, residents can bring documents for shredding and expired or unwanted medications for disposal to the HRD event. Residents should place items in their trunk or backseat and remain in their vehicles while staff unload vehicles in the drop-off area.
Generally, the following items are accepted for safe disposal or recycling:
· Properly labelled household chemicals, such as:
o Household cleaning products
o Most automotive fluids (antifreeze, brake fluid, gasoline, but not motor oil)
o Flammable liquids (kerosene, butane, lighter fluid, turpentine)
o Metal, jewelry, and furniture polishes and waxes; wood preservatives
o Fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides
o Photographic and swimming pool chemicals
· Batteries – only vehicle, rechargeable, or button cell batteries
· Textiles – footwear, clothing, linens, leather, small area rugs and handbags
· Latex and oil-based paint with labels visible, wood stains
· Fluorescent light bulbs & CFLs
· Fire extinguishers
· BBQ propane tanks (up to 20 lbs.)
· Mercury containing devices (thermometers and thermostats)
· Electronic waste (TVs, computer monitors and towers)
· Expired or unwanted medications, both OTC and prescription
· Personal documents for shredding (limit of four file-size boxes per household)
· Tires with or without rims, up to four
Items that will not be accepted and should not be brought to the Household Recycling Day include non-rechargeable alkaline and carbon zinc batteries (they can be safely discarded in the trash), motor oil, smoke detectors, cell phones, explosives (flares, fireworks, ammunition), construction debris and hypodermic needles. Also, waste from businesses, schools, or other institutions will not be accepted.
For more information on what to bring to this event, visit www.westchestergov.com/recycling or call (914) 813-5425.
To avoid waiting in line, you can dispose of your hard-to-get-rid-of household waste by making a convenient appointment for the County’s Household-Material Recycling Facility (H-MRF), 15 Woods Road, Valhalla. The H-MRF is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment, and accepts the same items that are accepted at the HRD events.

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. April 22,2024:
Dear Editor
The just approved New York state budget includes a payroll tax credit for local news outlets.
With the passage of this bill NYS is the first state in the nation that is incentivizing the hiring and retaining of local journalists. The passage of the budget comes months after two local newspapers – the Scarsdale Inquirer and Rivertowns Enterprise went out of business.
The program- $30 million per year for three years allows each eligible newspaper and broadcast business to receive a 50% refundable tax credit against the first $50,000 of an employee’s salary, up to a total of $300,000 per business.
$4 million will be allocated to incentivize print and broadcast businesses to hire new journalists. The remaining $26 million will be split evenly between businesses with fewer than 100 employees and those with more than 100 employees.
Since 2004 NYS has lost half its newspapers, more than 30 papers shuttered according to City & State. A quarter of NY Counties are now news deserts -down to their last local newspaper or without one at all and the stories of people and communities not being told.
The decline of local news is a threat to democracy—reduced scrutiny of governments and elected officials, reduced participation of voters in local elections, more opportunities for government officials to abuse taxpayer dollars or be corrupt (because of lack of scrutiny), less responsiveness to community concerns.
Credit for the new law should go –in large part to the efforts of a former opponent of mine -Lucas Cioffi who led the effort to find a way to save local news publications or to start up new local publications.
Mr. Cioffi, along with Sandra Nam, QigoChat Inc and the Westchester Youth Congress organized a very impressive virtual community meeting in February that was attended by over 300 residents.
The virtual meeting encouraged the community to think of creative initiatives that could help local publications survive. The meetings and follow up actions was democracy at its best—information with excellent ideas presented. Detailed minutes were presented to those who attended, a press conference was held with the Empire State Local News Coalition a short time later. And – now we have a success story—a state government initiative to help news outlets. Our officials in Albany listened.
Lucas Cioffi is a citizen who has made a positive difference. Democracy at the local level will be strengthened thanks to his efforts. And – I think we will see more local media outlets and more scrutiny of local governments. The community deserves to be informed of events, news that impact their lives. We owe a big thank you to him for leading the effort which has produced a very positive result. THANK YOU!

WPCNR NEWS AND COMMENT. By John F. Bailey April 21,2024:
THIS IS A BREADLINE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY I PHOTOGRAPHED IT IN FEBRUARY. THIS IS THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY USA.
A TRUCK FROM FEEDING WESTCHESTER WAS UNLOADING PALLETS OF FOODSTUFFS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER, AND PERSONS WERE COMING IN TO PICK UP BAGS OF NEEDED FOOD.
WITH HORROR I REALIZED THIS WAS A BREADLINE.
AT THIS TIME, 9:45 IN THE MORNING, fEBRUARY 22, I COUNTED 75 PEOPLE: MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN IN THAT LINE.
THE TEMPERATURE WAS 35 HARD EDGE COLD DEGREES.
UP CLOSE AND VERY PERSONAL QUESTION TO CITIES, TOWNS AND COUNTY HOW OFTEN DO THE POOR AND HUNGRY HAVE TO DO THIS? THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REFUGEES OF WESTCHESTER, NO ONE, NO MEDIA, NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL TALKS ABOUT: CITIZENS NOT IMMIGRANTS BUT RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY FOR THE MOST PART.
YOU DIDN’T WANT TO BE OUT THERE THAT MORNING IN FEBRUARY WHEN I TOOK THIS PICTURE, FOR A SHORT WALK LET ALONE 2 HOURS WITH A SMALL CHILD IN YOUR ARMS.
THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS TRASHCANS WITH FIRES LIT TO WARM HANDS OF THE FREEZING AND WAITING.
IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE AND HAVE FOOD AND A HOME, YOU ARE NOT AFFLICTED BY THE COLD.
IF YOU HAVE A JOB YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT AFFLICTED BY THE COLD UNLESS YOUR OUTSIDE WAITING FOR TICKETS TO A PERFORMANCE OR GAME.
THIS BREADLINE, AND I IMAGINE THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE THEM AT FEEDING WESTCHESTER PICKUPS ALL OVER THE COUNTY ARE A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTY.
IT IS AN ACT OF HUMANITY THAT FEEDING WESTCHESTER AND THE OTHER FOOD PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS ARE DOING THIS.
THEY ARE THE HEROES.
NOT THE POLITICIANS FROM THE GOVERNOR ON DOWN.
THE PEOPLE ON THIS LINE AND THOSE ON THIS WEEK’S LINES ARE A WESTCHESTER FAILURE. COUNTIES FAILURE ACROSS THE STATE AND THE GOVERNOR’S FAILURE.
THE COUNTY AND COUNTY BUSINESSES HAVE TO LOOK HARD AND DO BETTER AND FORGET ABOUT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT.
YOU CANNOT WASH YOUR HANDS.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BREADLINE CULTURE BEFORE IN MY ADULT LIVING IN THIS COUNTY.
THE NON-PROFITS OF WESTCHESTER, MOST NOTABLY, FEEDING WESTCHESTER ARE DOING THEIR BEST, BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE THEM DOING ALL THE WORK AND RAISING MOST OF THE MONEY RAISING WHEN BUSINESS IS IGNORING MR. MRS. AND MS. WESTCHESTER DOWN ON THEIR LUCK.
BUSINESSES I AM SURE WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP IF THEY KNEW. BUT THIS IS NOT A PLEASANT STORY. IT IS ABOUT FAILURE, INDIFFERENCE, BLAMING.
BREADLINES IN WESTCHESTER ARE AN UNCOVERED STORY. MEDIA DO NOT COVER. IT IS SUCH AN UNPLEASANT REALITY. IT HURTS RATINGS IF YOU MAKE YOUR AUDIENCE TOO SAD.
THE GOVERNMENTS: STATE, COUNTIES AND TOWNS CITIES SHOULD CARE AND PAY AND PROVIDE INDOOR FACILITIES TO WAIT IN LINE FOR THEIR FOOD.
THIS SCENE I TOOK SHOULD NOT BE THEY SHOULD BE INDOORS WAITING.
THOSE 100 PEOPLE OR WHO KNOWS HOW MANY IN THAT PHOTO I TOOK.. GET FROSTBITE IN THIS WEATHER.
HUNGER, BREADLINES IN THE OPEN, LACK OF CHILDCARE, IT IS ALL BEING COMPOUNDED IN EXPONENTIAL MISERY IN PERSONS WHO ARE LAID OFF, SICK, AND HUNGRY ALL THE TIME, AND NO MATTER THEY ARE NOT EATING RIGHT.
THEY ARE TIRED ALL THE TIME. DISCIPLINE SLOWLY DISAPPEARS DAILY. HUNGER DOES NOT GO AWAY. AND DESPAIR INTENSIFIES, JUST DETERIORATING THEIR LIVES AND THE CHILDREN CANNOT LEARN WHEN HUNGRY.
IF THIS IS PREVALENT ALL OVER THE COUNTY, THE COUNTY MUST PAY MORE ATTENTION TO IT. NO TALK. ACTION THESE PEOPLE CAN’T PAY FOR THE HIGH COST OF FOOD.
NEITHER CAN ORGANIZATIONS LIKE FEEDING WESTCHESTER.
THEY NEED $200,000 JUST TO COVER THE COST OF FOOD NOW OVER THE NEXT 9 MONTHS AND ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC, BUSINESS, AND THOSE WHO CARE TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE GENEROSITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE MOST CHARITABLE PEOPLE ON EARTH.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP HELP FEEDING WESTCHESTER AND THE FOOD PROVIDING CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE.
THE RICHEST STATE GOVERNMENT AND COUNTY CAN’T FEED THEM?
BUT IT IS HARDWORKING PEOPLE TOO WHO ARE HUNGRY GO LOOK AT A WESTCHESTER BREADLINE AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF.
THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF YOUR EMPLOYER GO YOU.
THE PEOPLE ON THAT BREADLINE ARE NOT MAKING MONEY ENOUGH TO GO TO THE SUPERMARKET.
MEANTIME, THE ROOT CAUSE OF HUNGER IS NOT HAVING JOBS. AS FEEDING WESTCHESTER POINTS OUT.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FAILING TO SAY THAT WORK WITHOUT VISA AWAITING ADJUDICATION WAS OK IS PLAYING BOTH ENDS AGAINST THE MIDDLE. THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL BE IN THE VESTIBULE OF DANTE’S INFERNO THE PLACE WHERE THOSE WHO CANNOT TAKE A STAND FOLLOW A WHITE FLAG FOR ETERNITY.
I ALSO THINK THAT FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS HAVE TO ESTABLISH DISTRIBUTION POINTS INSIDE.
WESTCHESTER WINTER HAS BEEN A CRUEL COLD IN THE 20S AND MID-30S DURING THE DAY.
IN SUMMER THE MISERY WILL CONTINUE: THE POOR, THE HUNGRY, THE SWEATING MASSES WILL BE FACED WITH SWELTERING, DEHYDRATING HEAT. MORE HEALTH PROBLEMS
DISTRIBUTION POINTS SHOULD BE LOCATED AT PLACES TO SHELTER THE 100 OR SO COMING FOR THE FEEDING WESTCHESTER AND OTHER PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS DISTRIBUTIONS: THE COUNTY CENTER, URGENT CARE CENTERS (WHICH CAN CHECK THE WAITERS IN LINE FOR SYMPTOMS AND OVERALL HEALTH), GYMNASIUMS IN SCHOOLS, WAREHOUSES.
BREADLINES–INDOOR FACILITIES. WE CAN’T DO THAT?. WHY NOT?
THE SILENCE OF STATE AND COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS IS DEAFENING ON THE HIDDEN HUNGRY IN WESTCHESTER.
THE LAST OFFICIAL WHO CARED WAS ANDREW CUOMO.
I LOOK AT THAT BREADLINE AND I AM REMINDED HOW CLOSE YOU AND I CAN BE TO BEING JUST LIKE THOSE POOR SOULS.
IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT, GET FIRED, GET SICK, OR COMPANIES KEEP MAKING MONEY AT OUR EXPENSE AND MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FOR YOU TO AFFORD THE PRODUCTS WE NEED TO SURVIVE BECAUSE THE COMPANIES WANT TO MAKE MONEY. THAT’S THE REAL CAUSE OF THE INFLATION THE FED IS FEEDING INFLATION AND KILLING THE ECONOMY BY NOT LOWERING INTEREST RATES.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WOMEN WHO COME TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON RECYCLING DAYS TO COLLECT DISCARDED DEPOSIT RETURN CANS, THAT IS HOW POOR THEY ARE
BREADLINES..
IN 2024.
THIS IS AMERICA IN THE 1930S, NOT THE 2020S.
THOSE WHO WOULD BE LEADERS IN ALBANY IN BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, ALL RESTAURANTS MAKING UNCONSUMED FOOD AVAILABLE NEXT DAY MAYBE– SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THIS SPREADING HUNGER .
SOME ARE. ALL SHOULD
THERE’S SOMETHING BROKEN AND CRUEL HERE IN THIS COUNTY AND IN NEW YORK CITY, LONG ISLAND.
TOO MANY HUNGRY WITH NO WAY TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN UNLESS WE THE CITIZENS BUY IT AND SUPPLIERS CONTRIBUTE.
IN ALBANY IN THE HOCHUL BUDGET THERE IS NO MENTION OF HUNGER IN HER PRESS RELEASE WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT HELPING FARMERS.
NONE.
THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. NOT JUST A MENTION BUT ACTION.
ACTION, ANYONE?
ONE LOOK AT THAT BREADLINE IS INCENTIVE ENOUGH.

WPCNR EDITOR’S LOCAL NOTES: LOCALLY, COVID INFECTIONS ARE A LURKING FACTOR IN WESTCHESTER. HOSPITALIZATIONS IN THE MID HUDSON REGION WERE 63 COMPARED TO 81 LAST YEAR ON APRIL. WESTCHESTER COUNTY HAD THE MAJORITY OF THOSE CASES .
FROM APRIL 9 TO APRIL 17, WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL SAW 50 PERSONS ADMITTED AND 15 OF THEM POSITIVE FOR COVID, 30%. THAT WAS UP A LITTLE FROM 25% OF ADMISSIONS FOUND WITH COVID LAST WEEK WHEN 9 OF 36 ADMISSIONS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID.
THE COUNTY AVERAGE 2.8 INFECTIONS A DAY FROM APRIL 7 TO 13, 196 IN A WEEK WHICH LAST WEEK ACTUALLY REACHED 216.
IF WE CONTINUE THAT PACE APRIL WOULD HAVE 868 FOR THE MONTH. IN 2023, APRIL SAW 895 COVID CASES SO WESTCHESTER HAD ONLY 4% OR 27 INFECTIONS DOWN LAST APRIL WHEN INFECTIONS STARTED TO REBOUND UPWARDS INTO JUNE.
THE PASSOVER OBSERVANCE HAPPENING LAST YEAR IN WESTCHESTER COMBINED WITH THE RELIEF OF COVID RESTRICTIONS PRODUCED 814 COVID CASES IN MAY, 796 IN JUNE, RESULTING IN AN EXPLOSION OF CASES IN JULY 2023 1,064 AND 1,962 IN AUGUST. WHAT WILL MAY AND JUNE SOCIALIZATION DO?
THE NUMBER OF CASES NOW IS CLIMBING BACK TO 1,000 CASES A WEEK.
WILL COVID COME BACK?
AT 860 CASES NOW IT MIGHT COME BACK FOR A 7TH WAVE AND LAUNCH ANOTHER MISERABLE COVID SURGE.
PLEASE SOCIALIZE RESPONSIBLY. FOR THE RECORD LAST WEEK WAS THE 10TH IN 11 WEEKS IN THE LAST 2-1/2 MONTHS WE LOWERED THE CASES ( BUT ONLY 1 LESS THAN LAST WEEK. NOW TO DR. KATELYN JETELINA’S LATEST EDITION OF YOUR LOCAL EPIDEMIOLOGIST:
We could definitely use better Covid-19 vaccines. While our current ones work well against severe disease, they could be better in other departments, like:
A suite of vaccines—considered next-generation (NextGen)—are in the clinical trials pipeline. While some are showing positive results, there is still a long road ahead.
Where are they in the process? Let’s dig in.
Note: We tried our darndest to summarize this vaccine pipeline comprehensively, but this stuff is hard to find. This list could be incomplete or (a little) out of date.
Vaccines undergo a long process to ensure they are safe and effective, from preclinical (i.e., testing in animals) to phase III (testing in hundreds of people) before authorization by the FDA. About 9 of 10 products fail at some point in this process. A typical vaccine takes 5 to 10 years—that is, when we aren’t in a massive emergency (with lots of money and the entire world working towards one thing).
While the U.S. government gave some NextGen vaccines a big financial boost at the end of the emergency ($5 billion), it will likely still be a while before we get them in arms. These vaccines are truly novel, and we are still trying to figure out how they work best.
One NextGen solution is a universal coronavirus vaccine that would protect against not only SARS-CoV-2 but also other coronaviruses that might cause future animal outbreaks and pandemics. However, this is a long way away.
We have made progress towards a pan-Covid-19 vaccine. This class of vaccines aims to be “variant-proof.” The idea is that these vaccines would induce an immune response that would make it impossible (or at least very difficult) for newer variants to escape antibodies, like Omicron did in 2021. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we would no longer need boosters or that these vaccines could stop transmission. Only time would tell us that.
Around 20 variant-proof vaccines are in the early stages of this process (preclinical), but 5 have reached human trials.
The next category is mucosal (i.e., nasal) vaccines. These induce antibodies in a person’s nose and throat—the major site of infection by SARS-CoV-2—so they attack the virus at the starting line. Theoretically, this would better prevent infection and transmission than current vaccines. As previously covered on YLE, this is a hard scientific road for multiple reasons.
Twenty-seven clinical trials of mucosal vaccines have reached human trials, including a few in the U.S. A lot are still in the beginning stages, though.
A few have reached later phases, and some have even been approved in other countries. However, they haven’t been authorized by a drug regulatory agency considered “stringent” for the WHO or the U.S. In the U.S., these manufacturers would have to submit their materials to the FDA and, after review, may have to run another clinical trial if they don’t have certain data. It’s not clear if this is happening (or not).
Some promising late-stage results so far include:
Combining Covid-19 vaccine with the flu vaccine. Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer are all working on a flu+Covid vaccine. Some are further along than others. Some manufacturers hope this will be available in the 2024 fall season. I’m skeptical.
Self-amplifying mRNA. This vaccine would include instructions on how to replicate RNA, once inside our body, allowing for much lower doses of injected mRNA. This means, in theory, fewer unpleasant side effects. There are two in the pipeline:
Don’t forget about T cells! Some have developed vaccines to maximize our T cell responses by targeting other parts of the coronavirus (not the spike). These vaccines wouldn’t have much effect on transmission or infection, but they could be very valuable in preventing hospitalizations if/when we get another coronavirus pandemic.
We need better Covid-19 vaccines. Biomedical innovation, such as the licensure of mRNA vaccines, was a huge scientific win during the emergency, and thankfully, scientists are not stopping there. While these will not likely be available this year, we can cross our fingers and toes that better ones are on the horizon.
