Halesite Fire Department Gets Gershow Assist

In support of local Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services crews, Gershow Recycling opened its Huntington Station facility to the Halesite Fire Department for an extrication exercise they performed on June 28. Gershow donated three vehicles to the fire department. The Halesite Fire Department expressed their gratitude for Gershow’s donation.

Started in 1964 by Sam Gershowitz, Gershow Recycling began as a two man operation with a tractor and trailer, a boom truck and the first portable car flattener. Now with the second generation carrying on the legacy, Gershow generates over 750 jobs, contributing millions of dollars to the local economy, while helping to preserve Long Island’s environment. Gershow Recycling takes aluminum, brass, copper, steel, cast iron, appliances, cars and vehicles. In keeping with its philosophy of “Conserving the Future by Recycling the Past,” Gershow Recycling purchases scrap metal that would have otherwise wound up in local landfills, and turns them into high-quality scrap products for recycling. The company produces both ferrous and non-ferrous products.
