Niagara County is partnering with the Town of Newfane and paint-recycling company GreenSheen to host a free paint recycling event this Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Newfane Highway Department. Niagara County residents and businesses can bring an unlimited amount of latex and oil paint in 5-gallon or smaller containers, and other coatings such as deck stains, primers, sealers and varnishes. Products must be in their original containers with a readable label. Spray paint will not be accepted.
“We are at the time of year when people are packing away outdoor items and cleaning out before the weather turns,” Niagara County Legislator Shawn Foti said. “This is the perfect time to properly dispose of those old paint cans that have been kicking around the basement, garage or shed for years.”
The free community paint collection event (latex and oil paint in original containers, only) will take place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Newfane Highway Department, 6176 McKee St.
Registration for this event is required. There are timeslots still available. To register and to learn more about what is accepted for recycling, visit https://www.rethinkyourwaste.com/events and click on this event.
When you arrive, you do not need to exit your vehicle, as staffers will be on hand to unload your car.
