🎨 What We Can & Can’t Take

Before you load the car, check this list! We only accept products designed for “architectural” use—essentially, things you’d use to paint or seal a house.

✅ YES: We Accept These (House & Home)

Products must be in their original containers (5 gallons or smaller) with a readable label.

• House Paint: Interior and exterior (Latex, Oil-based, Enamel).

• Metal: Rust-preventative paints and metal coatings.
• Sports Fields: Paint used for grass/lawns or sports fields.

❌ NO: We Cannot Accept These

If it’s for a car, a boat, a craft project, or a roof, we likely can’t take it.
