Colorado paint program
What Colorado law says.
Colorado has a paint stewardship law, and the program it created is run by PaintCare, a nonprofit set up by paint manufacturers. A fee on new paint sold in Colorado funds drop off sites at paint and hardware stores and local government facilities, which take leftover paint, stain, and varnish. When hauling the cans to a site is not practical, a booked pickup takes them from inside the home instead.

Colorado answers
Paint Disposal in Colorado, asked and answered
How much does paint disposal cost in Colorado?
Your exact Colorado price is shown online before you confirm, based on your ZIP code and item list, and it is guaranteed at the door.
Can I put a paint can on the curb in Colorado?
Not as liquid, in most places. Trash haulers generally refuse wet paint, latex usually has to be dried solid before it can go out with the trash, and oil based paint belongs in a household hazardous waste program. Each Colorado municipality sets the final rules, and a booked pickup takes the cans as they are.
How fast can a paint can be picked up in Colorado?
Same day windows are common around Arvada, Aurora, Colorado Springs, and next day windows cover most of the state. Your ZIP shows live availability at checkout.
Do you take both latex and oil based paint?
Yes for most household cans: latex, oil based, primer, and stain, whether full, partial, or empty. Acceptance can vary for certain products, so list what you have when you book.
Do I need to dry the paint out first?
No. Drying latex with cat litter or a hardener is what most local programs ask for before a can goes in the trash. A booked pickup takes sealed cans as they are, wet or dry.
Do you take stain and primer too?
Yes. Stain and primer cans are picked up alongside paint. Acceptance of other products can vary, so list everything you have when you book.
Does Colorado have a paint recycling program?
Yes. Colorado has a paint stewardship law, and PaintCare runs the program with drop off sites at paint and hardware stores and local government facilities, funded by a fee on new paint. It is the option when you can haul the cans yourself.
Where does paint from Colorado end up?
Paint cans are routed to responsible disposal or recycling facilities when local options are available in Colorado, instead of a general landfill. Outcomes vary with the paint type, the condition of the can, and the facilities that operate in the area.
