Reuse Paints Dropped Off at LSWDD!

Customers are invited to take home for reuse paints that are dropped off at Lopez Solid Waste. You must not open containers on-site, and must take the paint as-is, in sealed containers. If you take the paint home and don't want it, you may return it to LSWDD on a following Sunday.
