Event Supports Dystonia Awareness
Gershow Recycling supported the Medford Chamber of Commerce’s Long Island Zoo Day, which was held at the Suffolk County Farm & Education Center in Yaphank on September 13 to raise awareness of dystonia.
Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes the muscles to contract. This can cause twisting motions or other movements that happen repeatedly and that aren’t under the person’s control.
Gershow Recycling took part in the Tesla Science Expo, which took place at the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) in Shoreham on July 12. The company was on hand to encourage attendees to recycle and explain to them how different types of scrap products — such as cars, appliances, and building materials — are recycled.
Since 2013, Gershow has provided the use of its scrap metal containers for the TSCW as part of its efforts to help the non-profit organization fund the renovation of Wardenclyffe, which is the site of the only remaining laboratory of the famous inventor, Nikola Tesla. In addition, Gershow has sponsored and participated in “Metal for Tesla,” a scrap metal fundraising event to benefit TSCW.
In support of local schools and the community, Gershow Recycling donated the use of a junk car to the Sayville High School SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) chapter. The car serves as a reminder for students to drive safely.
The junk car was on display in front of the school to show students the consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, as well as the dangers of driving while distracted by texting or talking on cell phones. The Sayville SADD chapter thanked Gershow for its assistance and its use of the vehicle.
