Used Motor Oil, Tires and Latex Paint notes:

Used motor oil and tires can be brought to the Mansfield Green Recycling Center on East Street for disposal Mondays and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

*If you have latex paint to discard, an inexpensive latex hardener can be purchased from the local hardware and paint stores. This will enable you to dispose of the paint at your convenience, through year round, normal trash pickup.
