Leftover paint never belongs in a recycling bin, but can be recycled when dropped off at free collection points year-round. Alternatively, check the paint drop-off events calendar to find events hosted by GreenSheen. Registration is required for GreenSheen’s upcoming events:
DeWitt
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
Time: 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

The Dewitt paint drop-off registration page lists both acceptable and unacceptable items for drop-off, to review in advance.
Clay
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2026
Time: 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

While OCRRA is happy to share details about this great community service, we are not hosting the event. Therefore, questions should be directed to GreenSheen by emailing [email protected].

Remember, free paint recycling is available year-round through the PaintCare program. Interior and exterior latex, acrylic, water-based, alkyd, oil-based and enamel (including textured coatings), as well as primers, stains, sealers and clear coatings such as shellac and varnish, are accepted from households and businesses for recycling at no cost through the program. Several year-round drop off locations are available in NYS.
