Paint Recycling

Latex paint can be brought to Cash True Value and Rings End Lumber here in Town.

Please see the PaintCare.org website for tips on buying, using and drop-off locations for recycling unwanted paint, stain and varnish.

Empty latex and oil-based cans can be disposed of in your brown trash can. Oil-based paints can be disposed of at the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection.
