SELDEN, NY – Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Kathleen Walsh has announced an opportunity for residents in the Third Town Council District to recycle a variety of electronic items at no cost at a mobile “E-Waste” Recycling event at Samoset School on Saturday, November 8 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the school parking lot. Samoset Middle School is located at 51 School Street, Lake Ronkonkoma.

“This is one of several community e-waste recycling events the Town plans, to make it more convenient for residents to recycle electronics, instead of adding them to the waste stream,” said Councilwoman Walsh. “A licensed e-waste recycling company will provide safe processing and recycling of these items, saving taxpayers the significant cost of disposal and increasing the Town’s recycling rate. Components will be separated into reusable metals, plastics, glass, and chemical recyclables.”

Items that can be recycled at the 10/25 Newfield H.S. e-waste recycling event:
TV’s VCR’s/DVD players projectors, camcorders radios/stereos PDA’s pagers phones/cell phones answering machines fax machines copiers calculators	electronic typewriters computers laptops servers mainframes monitors printers scanners routers hubs modems	keyboards cables computer mice hard drives CD ROMs circuit boards power supplies backup batteries Gameboys® and other handheld electronic toys

“Cell phones can also be donated to the Brookhaven Town Senior Citizen Division, where they will be reconfigured to make 911-calls only,” said Councilwoman Walsh. “Residents who cannot attend the November 8 e-waste recycling event at Samoset Middle School can bring their electronics to the Brookhaven Town Landfill on Horseblock Road in Yaphank.”
