Adopt-A-Highway

The Town of Brookhaven Adopt-A-Highway program is a partnership between resident volunteers and the Town Department of Waste Management. Designed to improve the quality of Brookhaven's environment by keeping our roads litter free, the program asks residents to take an active role in helping make their neighborhoods better, cleaner places to live. 

 

Under the program guidelines, local organizations and individuals can volunteer to "adopt" a stretch of roadway. The adopting group agrees to pick up litter and debris in their area at least four (4) times a year. The Town provides signs, collection materials, and collection service. For more information, please call 451-TOWN (8696).

 

The Town of Brookhaven also offers Adopt-A-Spot & Adopt-A-Park programs. For more information about...

Adopt-A-Spot, contact the Highway Department at 451-9200.

MRF Tours   Brookhaven's Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) is a complex, automated, system that seperates glass, paper, corrugated cardboard, plastics and metals from a mixed waste stream and bales each item for market.  The MRF can process up to 300 tons of recyclable material per day.  All items collected curbside for recycling in Brookhaven are marketed. Tours of the MRF can be arranged by calling 451-TOWN (8696).
