Old paint cans, thinners, urethanes, and other chemicals can be safely discarded in Montauk on Saturday at the recycling center.

East Hampton Town residents who have been holding on to those old paints, half-full gas cans, and the like can safely dispose of them on Saturday in Montauk.

A STOP (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) Day will be held at the Montauk Recycling Center from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hazardous household waste such as chemical aerosols, paints, thinners, pesticides, urethanes, engine coolant, and flammable materials can be dropped off to be disposed of properly.

The service is open to all East Hampton Town residents, regardless of whether they have recycling permits.
