PaintCare is hosting a one-day paint recycling event in Truckee on Sept. 24.

The 9am-1pm event will be at Truckee Tahoe Airport.

Households and businesses from anywhere in the Truckee area may drop off leftover house paint, stain, or varnish—even if it’s 20 years old. All brands of latex or oil-based paint are accepted.

Only paint containers that are 5 gallons in size or smaller will be accepted. Containers must have original manufacturer labels. Leaking or empty containers and aerosol spray paints will not be accepted.

Hazardous waste or chemicals will not be collected at this event, such as paint thinner, solvents, motor oil, spackle, glue, adhesive, roofing tar, pesticides, and cleaning products.
