Village of Lindenhurst Officials have voiced concern over the amount of debris and pollutants in and along our creeks and storm drainage systems.  This on-going problem, of all types of debris, such as plastic containers, aluminum cans, glass bottles, Styrofoam, branches, grass, and leaves, entering the creeks, causes blockage and flow issues for storm water moving along the creeks, into the canals, and to the Great South Bay. 

When we get one of those heavy rain storms that dumps several inches of rain in an hour or so, the storm water becomes an issue.  Our creeks and streams can fill up very quickly, and the presence of debris causes problems with the proper flow of the water, which leads to major flooding problems on our roadways and adjacent properties. 

While our Village DPW routinely checks the creeks for debris, we can all help prevent our creeks from backing up in certain storms by not throwing leaves, branches, grass clippings, debris, and garbage into the creek.  Here are some tips you can take to keep the creek clean of debris:

• Grass clippings & leaves should not be thrown, raked, or blown into the creek.  Residents are encouraged to collect grass clippings/rake-up leaves, bag them, and place them in front of their homes for scheduled Village pick-up (Wednesdays). 

• Do not trim trees, shrubs, or bushes and throw the branches into the creek.

• Pick up garbage and litter around your property so that it does not collect in the creek.

Please, also be reminded that there are laws against littering and polluting, and anyone caught illegally dumping into our waterways will face possible fines and legal action.

The Village thanks you for your cooperation, care, and commitment to our safety and environment.  Together, we can make a difference.

As our community prepares to mark the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Lindenhurst Historical Society is honored to begin production of a documentary that will preserve Lindenhurst’s story of that day and the years that followed.

The documentary will remember the members of our community we lost, reflect on the immediate response of our residents, and tell the story of how Lindenhurst came together in the days, months, and years afterward. It will also document the community’s commitment to never forget—a commitment that led to the creation of the Lindenhurst 9/11 Memorial Garden and continues each year through our annual Candlelight Remembrance Ceremony.

We are asking for your help.

If you have photographs or videos from any of the following, we would be grateful if you would consider sharing them with us for possible inclusion in the documentary:

· Community candlelight vigil held on the evening of September 12, 2001, at Village Square

· LFD/Village/Community relief efforts that supported workers at Ground Zero

· Annual Candlelight 9/11 Remembrance Ceremonies

· Community fundraising events held to support the creation of the 9/11 Memorial Garden

· 2007 Dedication Ceremony of the Lindenhurst 9/11 Memorial Garden

· Walk To Remember silent procession from Village Square to the 9/11 Memorial Garden site

· Any other photos or videos that capture how Lindenhurst came together to honor, remember, and support one another in the aftermath of September 11th.

Whether you caught a quiet moment of remembrance, a community gathering, or a fundraising event, your memories can help ensure that future generations understand how Lindenhurst responded with compassion, unity, and resilience.

If you have materials you would like to share, please contact Village Hall (info@villageoflindenhurstny.gov or 631-957-7500). Digital files are preferred, but we are happy to work with anyone who has printed photographs or other media that can be safely scanned and returned.

Together, we can preserve these memories and ensure that the story of Lindenhurst’s response to September 11—and our enduring promise to Never Forget—will continue to be told for generations to come.
