(Southern Tier, NY) – New York State Senator Lea Webb joined the City of Binghamton as an official co-host of the second annual Free Paint Recycling Event on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
Building on the City’s successful 2025 environmental initiative, this year’s high-volume event provided residents with a professional solution for disposing of leftover architectural paints, stains, and varnishes at no cost. Last year, the City’s leadership led 503 residents to successfully divert 39,583 lbs. of waste from local landfills. This year, the event served 404 vehicles and collected 53 cubic yard boxes of leftover paint, roughly 40,000 pounds.
“I am proud to support the City of Binghamton in this important environmental effort,” said Senator Lea Webb. “This program provided over 400 families with the vital service of paint recycling while protecting our natural resources for future generations.”
