Spaces are still available for the Erie County October 18th Paint Collection Event!

Start autumn off with those old half-used paint cans gone. Think about what you can do with the extra space! Maybe you can store more of the lawn furniture, bikes, or the grill. Register today at https://circular.eco/event/HAM1018 or (716) 858-6800.

Alternatively, you can also dispose of paint at any local Sherwin-Williams location, but they require you to call ahead first.

This is a reminder to NOT hide items in your garbage because you want to get rid of them easily. Yesterday, a resident on Markus Dr. hid a car battery in their garbage, and when the truck cycled through it poured out of the truck and onto one of our employees' feet. He is now out of work on Worker's Compensation with severe burns to his foot. This item should have been taken to any auto retail shop or Hazman in Tonawanda. Injuries like this can be prevented by disposing of hazardous waste properly and adhering to the Town's Solid Waste Law.
