LAKE COUNTY — The Lake County Public Services Department announced that Lake County residents will have the opportunity to drop off unused paint at no-cost at two permanent locations beginning Monday.
Residents can drop off latex or water-based paints at the Lake County Waste Solutions and at the South Lake Refuse and Recycling.
Residents may bring up to 15 gallons per visit in cans up to 5 gallons in size to either facility. Paint cans cannot be leaking and must still be in the original can with the label still affixed. Paint cans should have their original contents with no other paints added.
Items not accepted as part of this program include aerosol products, spray cans, arts and crafts paints, auto or marine paint, aircraft paint, paint thinners, solvents and oil-based paint cans. For information on how to dispose of these items or about latex and water-based drop offs, contact the Public Services Department, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 262-1618.
Lake County Waste Solutions is located at 230 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport.
South Lake Refuse and Recycling is located inside the Eastlake landfill gate at 16015 Davis St. in Clearlake.
