PaintCare will host a one-day paint drop-off and giveaway event for District households and businesses on Saturday, June 10 at Ida B. Wells Middle School (405 Sheridan St 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 by visiting paint-wells-middle.eventbrite.com.
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.
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.
To use PaintCare drop-off sites and events for oil-based products, a business must qualify as an exempt generator under federal and any analogous state hazardous waste generator rules. Please visit paintcare.org/VSQG for more information on exempt generator rules. If your business does not qualify as an exempt generator, it can use PaintCare drop-off sites and events for water-based products but not oil-based products.
If you cannot make this event, households and businesses can also drop off paint year-round at 9 locations throughout the District of Columbia. Find a drop-off site near you by visiting paintcare.org or calling (855)PAINT09.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
