CANTON -- St. Lawrence County residents will have the opportunity to recycle unwanted or leftover paint at a free monthly collection offered by St. Lawrence 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 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 3 and Nov. 7 at the St. Lawrence County Highway Department, 44 Park Street, Canton.
The following coatings will be accepted at these events, in five-gallon containers or less:
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.
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.
