Cities Host Paint Recycling Events Across New York

The City of Binghamton is partnering with GreenSheen, a national paint recycling organization, to host a free paint recycling event on May 3, aiming to promote environmental sustainability and provide residents with an eco-friendly way to dispose of unused paint. Residents can drop off latex and oil-based paints, acrylics, varnishes, shellacs, and related products in original containers of five gallons or less, with no limit on the amount they can bring. All collected usable materials will be recycled into new latex paint, while items such as spray paints, hazardous waste, and electronics are not accepted. Attendees are required to remain in their vehicles as staff manage the safe and efficient unloading process. This initiative is part of Binghamton's broader effort to foster a cleaner and more eco-friendly community.
