Yonkers Insider: Statement from Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano.

 

Dear Friend,

In our continued efforts to be leaders sustainability, the Yonkers Recycling Center (735 Saw Mill River Rd.) is expanding its services for our residents.

This week, I announced a partnership with PaintCare, which operates New York’s Postconsumer Paint Stewardship Program, to allow households to dispose of leftover paint for recycling with no additional cost. 

Residents can now drop off wet paint at the Yonkers Recycling Center, the designated Postconsumer Paint Collection Site for paint drop-off. Paint recycling saves us resources and taxpayers dollars, reduces landfill sizes and prevents harmful substances from entering our environment with no extra cost to our residents.

The Yonkers Recycling Center also installed two ne bins; one for clothing & shoes and one for books. All items will either be resold, restored or recycled after pickup. 

Thanks to these partnerships, Yonkers can continue to do its part in reducing our carbon footprint and be leaders in creating a cleaner, more sustainable New York. 

Enjoy your weekend! 

MIKE SPANO

Mayor
