Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (WCDEF) will be hosting a free Paint Recycling Day in partnership with GreenSheen Paint.
Free Paint Recycling Event
Saturday, September 20
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Sprain Ridge Park
149 Jackson Ave, Yonkers
Residents and businesses of Westchester County who register for this event can bring a variety of paint products to be recycled. This includes latex, acrylic, water-based, alkyd, oil-based, enamel, and floor paints, as well as stains, shellacs, waterproofing finishes, metal coatings and more.
Recycling paint diverts material from the waste stream and reduces the demand for raw, non-recycled materials when new paint is manufactured. The County also accepts paint by appointment year-round, Tuesday through Saturday, at the Household Material Recovery Facility (H-MRF) on the Grasslands Campus at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla. In addition to paint, the H-MRF accepts household chemicals and a variety of other items requiring special handling, often not accepted through curbside collection.
For more information on how to register for the event, visit circular.eco/event/westchester or call the Recycling Helpline at (914) 813-5425.
