Which option fits your Pueblo cleanout?3
A few labeled cans of house paint
No need to wait for a yearly event. The county lists Sherwin-Williams, 3205 N Elizabeth Street, and D&S Paint Center, 715 West Street, 719-544-4714. Call about space and paint type first; being listed doesn’t mean unlimited daily drop-off.
Spray cans or car paint
The county says Sherwin-Williams won’t take industrial or car paint, spray cans or thinner. It lists Southern Colorado Services & Recycling, 1731 Erie Avenue, 719-542-6910, for paint including spray paint. Get hours, prices and approval first.
Clearing a contractor’s stock
Sort house paint from industrial finishes and cleaning solvents first. County event rules and PaintCare business rules differ. Have a business that takes this waste approve your actual items and price anything PaintCare won’t take. A recycling center or bulky-waste event is no substitute.
Pueblo rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Pueblo County lists year-round paint drop-offs, including Sherwin-Williams on N Elizabeth and D&S Paint Center. Spray paint goes elsewhere; the county lists Southern Colorado Services & Recycling.
Pueblo County lists paint stores separately from recyclers that take special products. Knowing what you have matters more than finding the nearest recycling address.
House paint: North Elizabeth
The county lists Sherwin-Williams for paint. Its weekday hours are longer than some old directory listings show.
Spray paint goes elsewhere
The county lists Southern Colorado Services & Recycling, 1731 N Erie Avenue, for materials including spray paint. Call 719-542-6910 about what it takes, hours and fees.
Free pickup programs and other options
The county also lists D&S Paint. For car paint or solvents, follow the county’s hazardous waste advice; a house paint store may not take them.
Getting your paint ready
Read every label. Before loading, tell the business which cans are spray, car paint or house paint.
Full preparation checklist →Pueblo questions2
Can spray paint go to the same store as wall paint?
Not through PaintCare. Use a special recycler on the county list.
Are all local hazardous waste options free?
No. The county says to call each business about what it takes and charges.
