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.
