While the Detox Your Home program doesn’t accept paint tins, our Transfer Station accepts them directly all year round. The Transfer Station will accept old tins of paint (yes, that includes the paint), which gets disposed of responsibly through the company Paintback. So be sure to bring them along while you’re here.
