Thank you for your patience as we all try to get used to the new Government laws and requirements.
Fishers Island is part of New York State but due to our location all of our waste and recyclables go to Connecticut, therefor we must not only abide by New York State laws/regulations but also by Connecticut Stat laws/regulations.
