How to Dispose of Oil-Based Paint in Denver, CO
Denver prohibits putting hazardous materials in trash, recycling, compost, or Large Item Pickup. Use the Household Hazardous Waste At-Your-Door program (typically one appointment per year for residents; schedule via the city’s HHW page / vendor) or the published paint and battery drop-off options. Oil-based paint and solvents belong in HHW — not trash or LIP.
