Farmingville, NY – On March 6, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Daniel J. Panico and the Town Council received a $20,000 check from sponsors for the 2025 Spring and Fall Recycling Events. The sponsors are Suffolk Credit Union, Gershow Recycling, Maggio Environmental, LLC, and Winters Bros. A WM Company, each contributing $5,000.

The events will include thirteen E-Waste, Paper Shredding, and Drug Take Back opportunities throughout spring and fall at various locations in Brookhaven. These events aim to provide residents with safe disposal options for documents, electronic waste, and prescription medications to prevent environmental harm. Additionally, this year’s events will allow cardboard recycling drop-offs for the first time.

Supervisor Panico expressed gratitude towards the sponsors: "Thanks to the continued partnership with our generous sponsors, these recycling events offer residents a responsible way to dispose of materials that could otherwise harm our environment. I strongly encourage all Brookhaven residents to take advantage of these convenient opportunities and help make a positive difference in our town."

The 2025 recycling events are open to all Brookhaven residents. More information can be found at BrookhavenNY.gov/RecyclingEvents.
