Paint recycling law in effect - July 1 

PaintCare does soft launch of recycling program thru summer

It will soon be more convenient than ever to recycle paint in Colorado. Since the start of the Colorado paint stewardship program on July 1, 2015, PaintCare has set up 49 drop-off sites in Colorado where the public can take unwanted, leftover paint for recycling. Most of these sites are at paint retailers (paint, hardware, and home improvement stores) that have volunteered to take back paint, and they are available to any household and business in Colorado. These stores accept paint whenever they are open for business. 

Local paint retailers are joining this program and will soon be available to accept your paint. Use the online location finder to identify drop-off retailers near you.
