Recycling Calendar
View the official 2022 Town of Brookhaven Recycling Calendar now!
Residents are required by law to participate in Brookhaven’s CURB (Clean Up Recycle Brookhaven) mandatory recycling program. Mandatory recycling is collected every week on Wednesdays. Commingled CURBY can recyclables and paper recyclables are collected on alternate Wednesdays (view recycling schedule). Your items must be placed at the curb prior to 6:00 am.
What is Acceptable for Curbside Recycling?
Since November 2018, the Town of Brookhaven has followed a dual-stream recycling system. This means that your paper and cardboard will be collected separately from your plastic and metal on alternating Wednesdays according to our calendar.
