Which option fits your Corning cleanout?3
You have a small household paint load
Call Stevens on Bridge Street with labels and amounts during paint-department hours and ask about room. Blinds appointments are a different service.
A search result points to Erwin’s September collection
That date is over. Erwin’s 622 South Hamilton Street address and hours still appear in county materials, but not as a year-round hazardous paint drop-off. Ask the county first.
You have empty spray cans and a bucket of thinner
Keep containers apart from liquids and check each. The county bans paint and spray cans from regular metal recycling, and PaintCare doesn’t take thinner. Call county solid waste instead of using mixed recycling.
Corning rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
PaintCare lists Stevens Paint & Blinds, 62 Bridge Street, at 5 gallons per visit; call 607-962-7112 before loading. Steuben’s 2026 hazardous waste dates are over, and the Erwin transfer station isn’t an everyday hazardous paint drop-off.
Corning has two PaintCare stores, Stevens on Bridge Street and Sherwin-Williams on West Pulteney Street. The county calendar mainly saves a wasted trip to Erwin.
Store hours don’t mean paint drop-off
Stevens has separate paint and blinds hours. PaintCare lists Stevens and the Sherwin-Williams at 360 West Pulteney Street at 5 gallons per visit each. Call the paint department during its hours about space.
The Erwin address means two things
Steuben’s 2026 flyer used the Erwin transfer station for a September 12 event, which is over. The station’s regular hours are for normal services and don’t make that event an ongoing drop-off.
Free pickup programs and other options
If Stevens is full, check the PaintCare locator. For solvents or refused products, call Steuben Solid Waste at 607-664-2460. The 2026 dates in Hornell, Bath and Erwin were all over on October 6; we haven’t guessed 2027. PaintCare’s free pickup starts at 100 gallons by can size and must be approved and booked. Keep paint in its own cans, not drums. Non-exempt New York businesses may qualify for an oil-paint pickup exception.
Getting your paint ready
Keep labels showing and lids tight. Tell the store latex or oil, rough gallons and any doubtful product. Keep spray cans, thinner and empties apart; the county bans paint and spray cans from metal-can recycling.
Full preparation checklist →Corning questions3
Can I take paint to Erwin during its Tuesday–Saturday hours?
No. Those are regular transfer hours, not paint or hazardous waste hours. The event there was September 12; ask the county where to go now.
Does Stevens still take old paint?
Yes. PaintCare lists it for households and businesses, 5 gallons per visit. Call first about space.
Where should a contractor’s leftover solvent go?
Not to a PaintCare store. Find a business hazardous waste company; household collections and paint stores don’t take business solvent.
