Paint can collection starts today

Paint cans will be collected today in several La Crosse County communities by the Causeway Interfaith organization.

The group will pick up gallon, pint or quart paint or stain cans from homes in the La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen and West Salem area and dispose of them at the county’s hazardous materials center.

Only paint products will be allowed and no 5-gallon buckets will be accepted.

Causeway is asking for a $1 donation per can, with all proceeds going to the Causeway Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers, which provides services to the elderly and people with disabilities to help them retain their independence.

Another collection will be done Thursday.

For more information or to arrange a paint collection, contact Causeway at (608) 775-9999.
