Last year's East Hampton Town recycling center permits officially expired on Friday, meaning it's time for "self-hauler" residents to renew.

Primary permits cost $115, or $55 for seniors. A second permit can be purchased for $40. Permits are valid from April 1 to March 31 each year.

To purchase new permits, residents should take proof of their addresses — including a car registration, property tax receipt, a voter ID card plus car registration, or a signed lease plus car registration — to either the town clerk's main office at Town Hall, its annex at the Montauk Community Playhouse, or the main office at the East Hampton Recycling Center on Springs-Fireplace Road.

Permits can also be purchased by mail, with a printable application form available online at this link.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
