Town of Brookhaven and DIME announce 2022 community recycling events partnership
On March 22, Supervisor Ed Romaine accepted a $4,000 check from DIME Chief Executive Officer Kevin M. O’Connor to co-sponsor the Town of Brookhaven’s 2022 community recycling events. Each year the Town holds two recycling events in each Council District that include paper shredding, e-waste disposal and a supervised prescription drug drop-off program.
The 12 scheduled recycling events will help residents properly dispose of sensitive documents which, when improperly discarded, can fall into the hands of identity thieves. Residents can also dispose of e-waste and expired prescription drugs in an environmentally safe manner. Pictured (left to right) are Supervisor Ed Romaine; DIME CEO Kevin M. O’Connor; Town Commissioner of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management, Christine Fetten; Councilwoman Jane Bonner; Councilman Dan Panico and DIME Executive VP and Chief Banking Officer James J. Manseau.
The 2022 recycling events are open to all Brookhaven Town residents for their personal, household material. No business records or medical practices will be accepted. For more information, call 451-TOWN (8696) or visit www.brookhavenny.gov/recyclingevents.
Residents are urged to bring the following electronic items to be recycled:
| TV’s | VCR & DVD Players | Computer Mice | Printers |
| Calculators | Hard Drives | Electronic Typewriters | Circuit Boards |
| Projectors | Camcorders | Laptops | Power Supplies |
| Radios/Stereos | Servers | Backup Batteries | PDAs |
| Mainframes | Pagers | Monitors | Routers |
| Telephones | Scanners | Cell Phones | Answering Machines |
| Hubs | Modems | Fax Machines | Keyboards |
| Copiers | Cables | Gameboys & other Handheld Electronic Toys |
Documents brought in for shredding will be fed into an industrial 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. The 2022 schedule of events are as follows:
