In support of local fire departments, Gershow Recycling donated the use of 30 cars for the 18th Annual Chuck Varese Vehicle Extrication Tournament, which was held at the Northport Fire Department’s Training Grounds at Steer’s Pit in Northport on May 10. Gershow also donated the use of its Huntington facility to enable teams to practice in the week leading up to the tournament.
Twenty-five teams from seventeen fire departments participated in the tournament, which involved groups of five firefighters working to extricate a “victim” from a “crash” using the Jaws of Life.
Each team was judged on the amount of time it took to perform the extrication, the handling of equipment and the safety procedures they followed. The top three teams were:
After the tournament, the vehicles were brought back to Gershow’s facility, where they were shredded and recycled.

On March 6, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Daniel J. Panico and members of the Town Council accepted a check for $20,000 from the four sponsors of the 2025 Town of Brookhaven Spring and Fall Recycling Events. The sponsors are Suffolk Credit Union; Gershow Recycling; Maggio Environmental, LLC; and Winters Bros. A WM Company. Each contributed $5000 to sponsor the events. Thirteen E-Waste, Paper Shredding and Drug Take Back events will be held in the spring and fall at various locations in the Town of Brookhaven. The 13 recycling events will provide Brookhaven residents with convenient opportunities to safely shred documents, dispose of electronic waste and old prescription medications, thus keeping harmful material out of landfills and waterways. In addition, the Town of Brookhaven will for the first time allow residents to drop off their cardboard recycling at these events as well.” All shredded paper documents will be recycled. The 2025 recycling events are open to all Brookhaven residents.
While accepting the check, Supervisor Panico said, “Thanks to the continued partnership with our generous sponsors, these recycling events offer residents a responsible way to dispose of materials that could otherwise harm our environment. I strongly encourage all Brookhaven residents to take advantage of these convenient opportunities and help make a positive difference in our town.”
