Leftover paint doesn’t have to be scary

One of the spookiest things haunting communities can be careless dumping, especially of hazardous materials like paint.

When unwanted paint is dumped on sides of roads or in our natural areas, it can creep into our watershed and become a real nightmare for us all. If you have leftover paint you need to dispose of, consider dropping it off at a PaintCare drop-off location. PaintCare has locations across Southern Oregon, including at Miller Paint, Rodda Paint and Sherwin-Williams locations.

Leftover paint doesn’t have to be scary. PaintCare makes it easy to turn this common waste product into a beneficial resource. Learn more about PaintCare and find drop off locations at paintcare.org/states/oregon.
