'I was at Rec park today (September 17) with my daughter and saw your sticker. I was suddenly glad to realize I am not the only one that has been hearing this noise. When Bates Troy was first being built I thought, wow this is great another business expanding here in Binghamton creating possibly more local jobs instead of moving some place else to expand. Sure it cost us 3 homes but they were not exactly on the historical registry either. But now they now have taken our community's kindness for a weakness and it must stop! I would like to become involved with your group and help get Bates Troy to obey local laws.' - Resident on Goethe St

Dear Alltex Uniform Rental Service, Inc.,
In our community campaign against Bates Troy Healthcare Linens in Binghamton, NY, we have learned that when an industrial dry cleaning plant moves into a high density residential area there are problems. Dry cleaning produces odors and noises that are distasteful and bothersome for residents wishing to enjoy their homes. We organized a campaign to draw attention to the problems we faced. We even uncovered evidence that Bates Troy knowingly violated the Noise Control Ordinance after their engineers documented their illegal noise levels. Rather than comply with the law, Bates Troy offered us a bribe to shut up and move out.
We are calling on companies engaged in the commercial laundry business to voluntarily adopt a pro-community policy. For those companies that do so, Bates Troy Noisy Neighbor would like to offer Community Accreditation. If Alltex Uniform Rental Service, Inc. is interested in receiving accreditation from us so that you may tell your community that you are a Good and Quiet Neighbor, email us at organizer (at) batestroynoisyneighbor.org. The accreditation process is rather simple: you must only demonstrate that you are more than 1500 feet from the nearest residential building and that you do not use cancer-causing chemicals.
Alltex Uniform Rental Service, Inc., we look forward to working with you,
Bates Troy Noisy Neighbor Organizers
Boycott Bates Troy and Tuxedo Junction
Every dollar you give to Bates Troy or Tuxedo Junction translates into more noise and odors for us. Please boycott Bates Troy.
Who Are We
We are Bates Troy Noisy Neighbor, a neighborhood organization of families concerned about the noise pollution produced by the Bates Troy Healthcare Linens dry-cleaning plant located at 151 Laurel Ave in Binghamton, NY 13905.
We are engaged in a campaign to bring attention to our community that is suffering under an onslaught of illegal annoying noises. We believe that the Zoning Board of Appeals made a negligent decision in allowing an industrial dry-cleaning plant to expand into a high-density residential area.
