Guide to Recycling and Disposing of Old or Unwanted Paint

At Southern Colorado Services and Recycling, our mission goes beyond environmental protection; we aim to serve as a cornerstone for responsible paint disposal and recycling in Pueblo County and El Paso County. Recognizing the critical importance of properly handling old or unwanted paint is a step toward safeguarding our planet and maintaining the health of our communities.


The Imperative of Proper Disposal

Annually, countless gallons of unused paint risk becoming environmental hazards by ending up in landfills or being discarded improperly. This negligence not only squanders precious materials but also introduces harmful chemicals into our ecosystem, jeopardizing both wildlife and human resources.



The Power of Recycling

Recycling paint is more than just cutting down waste. It turns extra paint into useful resources that help with community projects and even make new paint products. This way, we save resources and reduce pollution, living more sustainably

How to Make a Difference

-Evaluate Your Paint: Consider repurposing usable paint for smaller tasks or aesthetic touch-ups before deciding on disposal.


Repurpose Usable Paint: Unneeded paint can find new life through donations to organizations, schools, or community groups, where it can support artistic and communal endeavors.


-Recycle With Us: For paint that's beyond use, recycling is the optimal choice. Southern Colorado Services and Recycling accepts all old or unwanted paint in any condition, ensuring it's either recycled or disposed of properly, adhering to the highest environmental standards.


-Seek Proper Disposal: When paint cannot be reused or recycled, it demands appropriate disposal to prevent ecological damage. We provide services to manage this process responsibly.


The duty of recycling and disposing of paint correctly is crucial for the well-being of our environment. At Southern Colorado Services and Recycling, we pledge to accept all old or unwanted paint, offering Pueblo County and El Paso County, a trusted resource for managing paint waste with environmental integrity. By participating in responsible recycling or disposal, you actively contribute to a cleaner, safer world.


Let's collaborate for a greener tomorrow. Contact us for guidance on recycling or disposing of your paint.
