IMPORTANT!! PAINT SWAP PROGRAM CHANGE
Unfortunately, too much unusable paint as well as hazardous waste has been coming in to the paint swap shed on Wednesdays & Saturdays, and our staff has been overwhelmed trying to deal with incoming materials.
The purpose of the paint swap program is for residents to be able to bring in useable paint for other residents to take. It is not a drop-off for paint cans which have a small amount of paint left, or previously frozen paint, or paint in unreadable cans. Most especially it is not a drop-off for hazardous wastes.
Therefore, in future, paint collections will occur only on the first Saturday of the month during the collection season (typically May-October). At all other times, paint products will not be received at the Recycling Center, and the paint shed will be locked. The last two collections/swap days for this season will be Saturday, September 5th and Saturday, October 3rd from 8 am – 3 pm. Our staff will screen all incoming paints on those two days for quality, and instructions will be available to residents on how to deal with unacceptable paint and paint products as well as hazardous materials.
