- July 18, 2008
On Wednesday, July 30, CET will coordinate a mini-site collection of oil paint, stains, paint thinners, and turpentine, as well as waste motor oil at the Lenox Department of Public Works. The collection will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Pre-registration with CET is required.
This program is sponsored by the 15 towns that form the South Berkshire Household Hazardous Waste Collaborative. The participating towns are: Alford, Becket, Egremont, Great Barrington, Lee, Lenox, Monterey, Mount Washington, New Marlborough, Otis, Richmond, Sheffield, Stockbridge, Tyringham and West Stockbridge.
Latex paint will not be accepted. Empty or dried-up cans of latex paint can be disposed with the regular trash. Empty cans of oil-based paint, stains and solvents can be disposed with the regular trash as well. Usable paint can be given away through freecycle.org or some non-profits.
To pre-register or for information about what can be brought to this collection, visit www.cetonline.org or email amandad@cetonline.org. Or call Amanda at 413-445-4556 ext. 17. Residents from communities that are not participating should call their City or Town Hall for information about hazardous household product collections.
CET is a non-profit organization working in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste management and environmental education. CET provides practical solutions that make sense for our community, economy and environment. CET is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
