Updating your home with a fresh coat of paint? Doing some spring cleaning in your garage and getting rid of old paint cans? Keep in mind that paint cans, whether closed, open, filled with dried up paint or fresh, cannot be recycled by Richardson’s recycler and when included in Richardson’s recycling blue bags, can contaminate an entire truckload, sending that load to the landfill.
The Richardson Health Department offers several suggestions on how to safely dispose of paint at home; click here to access the information. In addition, all Richardson residents (whether they live in Dallas County or Collin County) may take paint cans to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas (just south of Forest Lane) during business hours for easy drive-up drop-off.
