If you haven’t cleaned out your garage or basement this summer, here’s a good excuse to do so. GreenSheen Eco-Friendly Paint is hosting a FREE paint recycling event on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. From 9 a.m. to 1 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.
