Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced that registration for the 17th annual Great Brookhaven Cleanup is now open. The event, which is sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven’s Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management, will be held on Saturday, May 17, at various locations throughout Brookhaven Town. It is part of a national effort that draws over 5 million volunteers in more than 20,000 communities across America who come together to pick up litter and clean miles of roadway, rivers, lakes, and more. Last year, the Great Brookhaven Clean Up drew more than 2600 volunteers.

Free gloves, trash bags and T-shirts will be provided by the town for the Great Brookhaven Cleanup volunteers. The supplies will be available for pickup at the Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management’s third-floor office at Town Hall during regular business hours (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) from May 5 to May 16. Appointments are necessary and must be scheduled during the registration process. Brookhaven Town Hall is located at 1 Independence Hill in Farmingville.

Individuals or groups can register online for the Great Brookhaven Cleanup and get more information at www.brookhavenny.gov or by calling 451-TOWN (8696).
