Farmingville, NY - Recently, Councilman Michael Loguercio (left) hosted a recycling event at the South Country Library in Bellport.

The event attracted nearly 500 residents who dropped off 17,280 lbs. of paper and 8,084 lbs. of electronics for recycling. In addition, 12 boxes of unused and expired pharmaceuticals were collected for proper disposal by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department.
Councilman Loguercio said, "Thank you to the nearly 500 residents that attended this recycling event. This was as successful as it was because of the great partnership we have with the South Country Library and the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department.
