Farmingville, NY – Brookhaven Town has announced that residents and small businesses can clean out their file cabinets, attics, and storerooms and safely discard of old letters, medical forms, and financial records by bringing them to the Town’s Materials Recycling Facility on May 18th and May 19th from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Documents will be fed into a large shredder and baled for recycling.  Hudson-Baylor retains the first 7000 lbs. of shredded paper and the Town gets the rest, which is baled and sold at market. The Town’s Materials Recycling Facility is located at 350 Horseblock Road in Yaphank. Documents brought to the shredding event will be dumped into a 65-gallon container and then into the shredder, enabling each participant to witness the secure destruction of sensitive papers. Paper can be brought in boxes or bags. Documents can remain stapled together, but paper clips and other metal must be removed along with any other contaminants such as rubber bands. Space is limited, so small businesses must first register by calling 631-451-6393 Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.
