Niagara County to host Paint Collection Event Saturday in Newfane

Niagara County is partnering with the Town of Newfane  and paint-recycling company GreenSheen to host a free paint recycling event this Saturday, October 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,” said Niagara County Legislator Shawn Foti.  “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.”

WHAT: Free Community Paint Collection Event (Latex and Oil Paint in original containers, only)
WHEN: Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 9am to 1pm.
WHERE: Newfane Highway Department, 6176 McKee St., Newfane, NY 14108.
