How Paint Busters Handles Paint Recycling
Recycling your unwanted latex paint is easy.
Step 1
Gather Your Paint
Collect your unwanted latex paint from your home or business. We accept most water-based latex paints in their original, non-leaking containers. Whether you have a few cans from a home improvement project or hundreds of gallons from a commercial property, we're here to help.
Step 2
Choose Your Recycling Option
We offer several convenient ways to recycle your paint, including:
- Curbside residential pickups
- Commercial paint pickups
- Community paint recycling events
- Municipal and corporate collection events
Simply choose the option that best fits your needs and schedule.
Step 3
Safe Collection
Our trained team carefully collects and transports your paint using safe handling practices. Every container is inspected to help ensure proper transportation and environmentally responsible processing.
Step 4
Paint Gets a New Life
Whenever possible, the latex paint we collect is recycled and repurposed into usable paint rather than being discarded. This process helps reduce landfill waste, conserve valuable resources, protect local waterways, and support a more sustainable community.
How Our Paint Recycling Events Work
Paint Busters partners with cities, businesses, schools, homeowners associations, and community organizations to host convenient paint recycling events throughout the year.
On event day, participants simply drive through the collection site while our friendly team unloads their paint, weighs the material, and processes payment when applicable. Most visits take only a few minutes, allowing residents to recycle unwanted paint quickly without ever leaving their vehicle.
Many community events also feature special promotions through municipal or corporate sponsorships, allowing residents to recycle a designated amount of paint at no cost before standard recycling fees apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does paint pickup cost?
$1.00. The final price is worked out at pickup once your paint is weighed by the pound.
What condition does my paint need to be in?
Your paint must be in its original container with the original label still on it. Other containers won’t be accepted.
How do I book a pickup?
Fill out the form on the page with your name, email, phone, pickup date, address, and zip code. Then click “Book Your Pickup “. Once we receive your inquiry, a member of our team will contact you to schedule a pickup timeframe. Pickup is not confirmed until a member of our team sets up a timeframe.
Can businesses or contractors book a pickup?
Yes, businesses and contractors can also book a pickup.
Can I combine different cans of paint before pickup?
We ask that you keep paint in its original can or bucket rather than combining different paints. This helps us sort and process each container properly during recycling. If you have questions about a specific can, give us a call at 314-936-5880 before your scheduled pickup.
What's the difference between scheduling a pickup and attending a recycling event?
Paint Busters Recycling offers two ways to recycle: schedule your own paint pickup directly at your home through our online registration form, or drop off paint at a community collection event hosted by a local business, school, or organization. Check our Events page to see if a collection is happening near you, or register online anytime for a personal pickup.
Do I have to bring my paint to you?
No!
Our convenient curbside pickup service allows you to leave your paint in an agreed-upon location, and we’ll take care of the rest. No heavy lifting. No waiting in line.
