PSA: No Plastic at When Burning the Chametz

At this years community Biur Chametz that will happen on Eastern parkway and Kingston Ave, the NYPD Community Affairs reminds everyone not to throw any plastic items, including plastic bags, into the fire.

Community Affairs Detective Vinny Martinos referenced environmental concerns, as well as foul smells caused by burning plastic.

An alternative to plastic bags are paper bags, which are significantly less of an issue.
