Which option fits your Warwick cleanout?4
You want to use the city yard because you already go there for brush
The yard's list doesn't include paint, and it takes no trash at all. Bring paint only on November 7, when the Eco-Depot is there.
You're emptying a garage shelf of mixed products
Oil paint, stain, thinner and pool chemicals can all go to the Eco-Depot. Book the November 7 Warwick slot, in containers of 5 gallons or less.
Leftover latex from a single room
Take it to a PaintCare store on Walnut Street, Lambert Lind Highway or Greenwich Avenue. Each takes up to 5 gallons per visit.
A painting contractor's surplus
The Eco-Depot is households only. PaintCare stores take business paint; oil-based business paint must meet PaintCare's rules for very small businesses. RIRRC lists private hazardous waste companies for the rest.
Warwick rules and tips4
THE LOCAL ANSWER
For household chemicals, including oil paint, book the Eco-Depot at 111 Range Road on Saturday, November 7, 2026 (8 a.m.–noon, appointment needed). For paint only, a PaintCare store like Sherwin-Williams at 77 Walnut Street takes up to 5 gallons per visit. The city's everyday drop-off yard doesn't take paint.
Warwick's Range Road recycling yard doesn't take paint on normal days, but it hosts Resource Recovery's Eco-Depot on November 7, 2026. The rest of the time, use one of Warwick's three PaintCare stores, such as Sherwin-Williams on Walnut Street.
Same address, different rules on November 7
Most days the Range Road yard serves Warwick residents with proof of residency, taking yard waste, metal, mattresses, tires and electronics, but not paint. On November 7 the Eco-Depot takes over, open to any Rhode Island household with an appointment.
The yard's hours depend on who you ask
The city says 7 a.m.–3 p.m., Monday–Saturday, April to December, with no Saturdays January–March. RIRRC says weekdays all year plus seasonal Saturdays, weather permitting. Neither covers paint.
Three PaintCare stores across the city
Sherwin-Williams at 77 Walnut Street and 80 Lambert Lind Highway, and Triboro Paint Center at 615 Greenwich Avenue. All take latex and oil-based house paint. Triboro's listing has no hours, so call first.
Motor oil has a city drop-off; paint doesn't
RIRRC's Warwick page sends motor oil, filters and propane to the city facility. Paint has no such city option, so sort your load first.
Free pickup programs and other options
Offer usable paint to someone who can use it. For 100 gallons or more, ask PaintCare about free pickup. After December 5, there's no Eco-Depot until RIRRC posts its next schedule.
Getting your paint ready
Book a November 7 hour on RIRRC's form. Keep labels readable, lids tight and containers 5 gallons or smaller. Stay in your car; staff unload.
Full preparation checklist →Warwick questions4
Can I drop paint at the Range Road recycling facility on a weekday?
No. That yard takes paint only during the November 7 Eco-Depot.
Do I need to live in Warwick for the November 7 event?
No. Any Rhode Island household with an appointment can come. Proof of residency is only for the everyday yard.
What if I can't make November 7?
Book Pawtucket (November 21) or Johnston (December 5). For paint only, use a PaintCare store.
Is there a charge?
No. The Eco-Depot and PaintCare stores are both free.
