VOLUME PAINT PICKUPS
Re-PaintsTM Recycle is here for you with your volumes of accumulated or stockpiled paints and chemicals. Re-PaintsTM Recycle also offers our FREE Volume Paint Pickup Services.
When we calculate amounts for your Volume Paint Pickup Service we measure the amounts by container size and not the actual amount of fluids in the container.
Re-PaintsTM Recycle may approve a pick-up for smaller amounts of paint or chemicals on a pickup by pickup basis if there are no Re-PaintsTM Recycle Drop Off Centers in your area. And, after we get to know you, we may set up a recurring pickup service just for you (read on for details).
WE HAVE NO LIMITS
Even though we have no limits as to the amount of water-based or oil-based paint or chemical products you may use our services for, of course we retain the right to refuse any amount or location to pickup the products.
Even so, if your business is generating more than 220 lbs which is about the equivalent to 20 to 30 gallons, depending on the solid materials within, of hazardous waste per month or your business has accumulated more than 2,200 lbs. in total, you still may either use Re-PaintsTM Recycle Drop Off Centers and our Volume Paint Pickup Services for all water-based program products.
For all oil-based products we will look to arrange a pickup program for you. Give us a call at 520-917-3131 and we'll see what we can do for you.
And of course if you're generating less than the 220 lbs. mentioned above of hazardous waste on a monthly basis and you have accumulated less than 2,200 lbs., then you may freely use our Re-PaintsTM Recycle Services for your water-based products and your oil-based products. And of course being a business, you need to certify you meet this requirement.
Please remember, in calculating your amount of hazardous waste you generate each month, do not include the water-based latex paint and paint products.
WE ACCEPT ANY AMOUNT OF PAINT
Re-PaintsTM Recycle accepts any amount of paint and chemicals and any size containers from Quart Cans, Gallon Cans, 5 Gallone Buckets, 55 Gallon Barrels, 275 Gallon Totes and more.
Please leave your paint in it's original cans, buckets, barrels or totes and with the original labels and please don't combine or bulk your paint or chemicals together from small cans into larger ones.
Here again, if you have leftover and unwanted paints or chemicals in drums, totes or larger, please contact Re-PaintsTM Recycle, your paint and chemical recycling center for your hazardous waste transportation to assist you.
FIRST THING TO DO IS YOUR SORTING
First, please sort your paint and chemicals into two categories: Water Based Paints and Products and Oil Based Paints and Products. Then count up the number of containers by size for each category.
We need to know the number containers for each size container and the type of products you have, again sorted into two categories:
(1) Water-Based Paints and Stains; and,
(2) Oil-Based Paint and Stains and any Other Program Products Such as Sealers and Clear Top-Coat Products, Varnishes and Shellacs.

WHAT TO DO ON YOUR DAY OF PAINT PICK-UP
Please make sure your paint and chemical products are pre-sorted into the two categories mentioned above and then place same in an area we'll have an easy access.
All paint and chemical products must be in their original containers and check to make sure they are not leaking.
It is best to make sure the paint and chemical products are not a long distance from where we'll be parking and that the path in between has a wide (four feet or more) pathway to accommodate movement of the boxes and carts.
BE READY TO REMOVE UNWANTED PAINT
You should make sure you have enough staff available to help pack the paint cans and buckets into the boxes. Our driver will help you too, but it is necessary and we require your staff to be there and ready to provide their assistance to pack up the boxes and load up the truck too.
Once your paint and chemical products are sufficiently packed and loaded onto our truck, you will simply sign our shipping document and be provided a copy for your records.
From there, we have you covered and your leftover and unwanted paints and chemical products will taken away to our authorized processing recycling facility.
