The ReUse Committee is always looking for volunteers to help at these events. They usually require one to four hours of time on a Saturday morning. If you are interested in joining our corps of volunteers, please contact me at david.starr@comcast.net. The events are fun and social and require no previous experience.

In addition to the exciting news above.... My resources tell me that there is a drop off site in Holyoke for any unwanted paint!
As you can see, we have a nice collection going and we are thinking it's time to purge! And what a great idea that someone else might actually be able to use it. A win-win situation. Here is the information:
Latex paint can be brought to the Refuse/Recycling Drop-off Site for disposal. Paint swap is available for anyone interested in unused paint. Empty latex paint cans that are dried up can be brought to the Refuse/Recycling Center. Empty cans of oil-based paint must be disposed of during the City's hazardous waste day, which is held twice a year in the Spring, and Fall. Information concerning the City's Hazardous Waste Days is available by calling the DPW at 413-322-5645.
Happy Purging everyone!
