Farmingville, NY – On September 29, Councilwoman Jane Bonner held an E-Waste Collection, Paper Shredding and Drug Take Back event at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai. The event, which was Councilwoman Bonner’s second of the year, provided the opportunity for residents to safely dispose of unused electronic devices, have their old paper documents securely shredded, and to safely dispose of old prescription drugs. Members of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department were on-hand to accept the prescription drugs for disposal. More than 500 cars stopped by to recycle 12,540 lbs. of paper, 7,960 lbs. of e-waste and 9 boxes of unwanted prescription drugs for proper disposal. All the Town of Brookhaven’s 2023 recycling events are co-sponsored by DIME Community Bank. For more information about upcoming recycling events in the Town of Brookhaven, visit the Town website.
