Did you know it’s more convenient than ever to recycle paint in California?

Since the start of the California Paint Stewardship Program in October 2012, PaintCare has set up over 650 FREE drop-off locations in California where the public can take unwanted, leftover paint, stains and varnish and many other related painting products for recycling. The program is open to any resident and business in California.

*Check each store for hours of operation and accetable limits before you go.
