Erie County Workshops: Organics And Waste Paint Management

Erie County Department of Environment & Planning is participating in two regional projects to improve the management of problem wastes - particularly in rural areas: latex paint& organics, including food waste. Both projects include holding training workshops, so to make it easier for you to learn about both topics, they are scheduled for the same day. There is no registration fee and lunch will be provided (free) for those attending the waste paint workshop.
