MEDINA – Orleans County is partnering with SUNY GCC, Niagara County and paint-recycling company GreenSheen to host a paint recycling event on Saturday, May 31 at the GCC Medina Campus Center.

Orleans and Niagara County residents and businesses are welcome to bring oil-based, acrylic and latex paint, urethanes, varnishes, shellacs, lacquers, primers and clear coatings to be recycled at no cost.
