Several locations in Goodhue County are now offering PaintCare, a paint recycling program that is funded by everyone that purchases household paints, stains, and varnishes. A small fee is charged each time you purchase these products to help fund the recycling effort. Click here to view the PaintCare Program Brochure (PDF).
The following locations will accept up to 5 gallons of household latex or oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes. They will not accept aerosol paints (spray paints and other paint products), any containers without original labels, or any containers that are empty or leaking. Dropping off paint is free, but please call ahead for hours of availability and to make sure the location can accept the type and amount of paint you would like to recycle.
