Paint Recycling

Your partner in sustainability

Republic Services is proud to partner with PaintCare Inc., a non-profit organization representing paint manufacturers/producers to plan and operate paint stewardship programs in U.S. and jurisdictions that pass paint stewardship laws.

Please review the detailed list of PaintCare products and non-PaintCare products

Republic Services accepts PaintCare qualifying containers in the following states:

  • California
  • Oregon
  • Washington

In states where PaintCare operates, we encourage households and businesses to take their unwanted, leftover paint to one of more than 2,000 PaintCare drop-off sites (mostly paint retailers).

To be accepted for drop-off, PaintCare products must be:

  • In their original containers of no larger than 5 gallons in size,
  • Have the original manufacturer’s printed label on the container,
  • Covered with a secured lid (no open or leaking containers)
