If you haven’t cleaned out your garage or basement this spring, here’s a good excuse to do so. The City and County of Denver is hosting a FREE paint recycling event on Saturday, May 17, 2025. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., bring any amount of latex or oil-based house paint, stains and varnishes and they’ll take it off your hands. This event is open to all Colorado residents.
