Free Unwanted Paint Collections for Lewis County Residents

 

Lewis County residents will have the opportunity to recycle unwanted or leftover paint at a free monthly collection offered by Lewis County and PaintCare, a non-profit recycling organization. The Development Authority of the North Country is assisting with the coordination of the effort.

 

The take-back collections will be held from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month (beginning April 17) throughout the spring, summer and fall at the Lewis County Transfer Site, 7952 NYS Route 26, Lowville. Residents will no longer have to wait for a Household Hazardous Waste collection event to safely dispose of their unused paint.

 

The following coatings will be accepted at these PaintCare events, in five-gallon containers or less:

 

·      Interior and exterior latex, acrylic, water-based, alkyd, oil-based or enamel coatings

·      Deck coatings and floor paints

·      Primers, sealers, undercoaters

·      Stains

·      Shellacs, lacquers, varnishes, single-component urethanes.

·      Waterproofing concrete/masonry/wood sealers and repellants (not tar or bitumen-based)

·      Metal coatings, rust preventatives

·      Field and lawn paints

 

Paints must be in their original, sealed container with their original labels.

 

These collections are for residents only. Businesses can reach out to PaintCare directly to arrange for a large-scale pickup of over 100 gallons. For more information, see https://www.northcountryrecycles.org/PaintCare.

 

The collected paint will be picked up by PaintCare, a national organization that will then donate the leftover material, recycle it, or use it in landscaping materials (pavers, flower pots) or cement/asphalt blends, or as fuel for cement kilns and incinerators.
