Brookhaven Waste Management operates as part of the Town of Brookhaven’s Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management, offering comprehensive environmental and sustainability services to residents and businesses in the community. As a municipal entity, it plays a crucial role in promoting eco-conscious waste disposal, recycling, and conservation initiatives aimed at reducing landfill use and enhancing sustainability across the town. With a strong emphasis on public education, the department regularly provides resources, guidelines, and outreach programs that encourage responsible environmental practices such as proper recycling and composting.

One of the department’s standout features is its dedicated curbside collection programs for recyclables, yard waste, and household hazardous materials, making sustainable disposal accessible to all residents. Brookhaven also operates its own recycling facility and compost site, helping to process organic materials into reusable compost, which is then available to the community. The organization is active in hosting clean-up events, school presentations, and annual recycling days, demonstrating its commitment to community engagement and long-term stewardship of the local environment.
