Town of Brookhaven recently issued the following announcement.
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2020
E-Waste disposal, paper shredding and drug take back event for residents to safely dispose of unused electronic devices, have their old paper documents securely shredded and to safely dispose of old prescription drugs. Call 631-451-8696 for more information.
Event Details
Documents brought in for shredding will be dumped into a 65-gallon container and then into the shredder, enabling each participant to witness the secure destruction of sensitive papers. Paper can be brought in boxes or bags. Documents can remain stapled together, but paper clips and other metal must be removed along with any other contaminants such as rubber bands.
Rules
- All residents must wear a mask.
- We advise residents only send one person per household.
- Residents disposing of e-waste will not need to leave their cars. They should clearly label what is e-waste and what is not, and the recycling crew will remove it from their trunks/cars.
- Residents looking to shred paper will be asked to place their documents in a bin next to the shred trucks.
