PaintCare will host a one-day paint drop-off and giveaway event for District households and businesses on Saturday, July 23, at Ida B. Wells Middle School (405 Sheridan Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20011) between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Read a complete list of accepted products, check business limits, and register online.
Households may bring most types of paint, stain and varnish in any amount. Paint must be in sealed container with original manufacturer label. We cannot accept aerosols, solvents and other hazardous waste. Businesses must qualify as an exempt generator to use the PaintCare program for oil-based paint but can still use the program for latex products. Please visit www.paintcare.org/VSQG for more information on exempt generator rules.
Event attendees will also be able to browse partially filled containers of a variety of products including latex- and oil-based paints, primers and stains. Color options and volumes are not guaranteed. Paint is given away on a first come, first served basis.
If you cannot make this event, households and businesses can also drop off paint year-round at 9 locations throughout D.C. Find a drop-off site near you by visiting paintcare.org or calling (855)PAINT09.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
