TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN, NY - It was a trashy new year for some residents in the Town of Brookhaven.

The company collects the trash from homes in the communities of Shoreham, Rocky Point, Port Jefferson Station, Farmingville, East Patchogue and Manorville. These areas make up 20 percent of the carting districts within the Town of Brookhaven.

On Wednesday, town officials announced that they have entered into emergency award agreements with several local companies to provide immediate garbage pick-up in the affected communities.
