Electronic Waste Collection

Supervisor Jon Kaiman reminds residents that “improperly disposed of, electronic products—which often contain lead, mercury and arsenic among other toxins—could, if land filled, contaminate underground aquifers, Long Island’s primary source of drinking water.” Collected electronic waste will be hauled off by the town’s current e-waste recycler, who disassembles the items, salvages the useable parts, separates out potentially damaging materials such as cathode ray tubes, and sells recyclables. Part of the groundbreaking, award-winning School Recycling Partnership Program, this e-waste initiative is made possible through a partnership with the schools to establish it in each district. Drop-off location: Sousa Elementary School, 101 Sands Point Rd., from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also on Jan. 21.
