While you’re at the ARL or CTS facilities, be sure to visit the Paint & Materials Exchange. When the public drops off hazardous materials, SWS checks them and put the usable products in the Haz Bin. 

For example, SWS takes in 50 to 100 gallons of paint each week. Sometimes good paint comes in unopened. You might also be able to pick up some household cleaning solvents, auto fluids, or lawn and garden chemicals, depending on availability. 

Reuse Hours

Open during normal Household Hazardous Waste business hours.​
