State-sponsored paint takeback planned May 31 at Kingston plaza; organizers expect large turnout
Summary
Green Sheen, a paint-reclamation vendor referenced by staff, will run a New York State-funded paint takeback event at a Kingston plaza on May 31; organizers urged preregistration and staff discussed outreach and logistics.
Staff reported that Green Sheen (referred to in the meeting as the vendor for New York State's paint care program) will host a paint takeback and reclamation event at the plaza on May 31.
Julie Noble said the service is funded by New York State and that the vendor provides the service to municipalities under the state's producer-responsibility program. Organizers described the event as a drive-through model: residents remain in their cars and staff/volunteers unload materials. Noble said previous events in nearby communities processed hundreds of cars; she cited a Glens Falls event with roughly 600 cars and said some events are scaled to handle up to 1,200 cars.
Staff asked commissioners to help with outreach and to ensure the event flyer and registration link include the city and commission logos. Noble emphasized preregistration because the onsite processing model is optimized when participants register in advance. The vendor will accept large volumes of paint at the event and can also collect municipal accumulations for reclamation under the program.
Ending: Staff will circulate the vendor's final promotional materials and registration link to commissioners once available and asked for help with outreach to ensure preregistration.
