Guide to Recycling and Disposing of Old or Unwanted Paint

At Southern Colorado Services and Recycling, our mission goes beyond environmental protection; we aim to serve as a cornerstone for responsible paint disposal and recycling in Pueblo County and El Paso County. Recognizing the critical importance of properly handling old or unwanted paint is a step toward safeguarding our planet and maintaining the health of our communities.

The Imperative of Proper Disposal

Annually, countless gallons of unused paint risk becoming environmental hazards by ending up in landfills or being discarded improperly. This negligence not only squanders precious materials but also introduces harmful chemicals into our ecosystem, jeopardizing both wildlife and human resources.

The Power of Recycling

Recycling paint is more than just cutting down waste. It turns extra paint into useful resources that help with community projects and even make new paint products. This way, we save resources and reduce pollution, living more sustainably

How to Make a Difference

-Evaluate Your Paint: Consider repurposing usable paint for smaller tasks or aesthetic touch-ups before deciding on disposal.

Repurpose Usable Paint: Unneeded paint can find new life through donations to organizations, schools, or community groups, where it can support artistic and communal endeavors.

-Recycle With Us: For paint that's beyond use, recycling is the optimal choice. Southern Colorado Services and Recycling accepts all old or unwanted paint in any condition, ensuring it's either recycled or disposed of properly, adhering to the highest environmental standards.

-Seek Proper Disposal: When paint cannot be reused or recycled, it demands appropriate disposal to prevent ecological damage. We provide services to manage this process responsibly.

The duty of recycling and disposing of paint correctly is crucial for the well-being of our environment. At Southern Colorado Services and Recycling, we pledge to accept all old or unwanted paint, offering Pueblo County and El Paso County, a trusted resource for managing paint waste with environmental integrity. By participating in responsible recycling or disposal, you actively contribute to a cleaner, safer world.

Event Planning Checklist: Don’t Forget the Restrooms!

By Shawn Carter • May 13, 2025

When planning any event, whether it’s a wedding, festival, graduation party, or community fundraiser, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of entertainment, food, and decorations. But one often-overlooked element can make or break your guests’ experience: restrooms. Providing clean, accessible, and well-serviced portable toilets should be at the top of your event planning checklist. Why Portable Toilets Matter Your guests’ comfort and satisfaction depend on more than just fun activities and great food. Ensuring easy access to clean restroom facilities helps keep everyone happy and prevents long lines or unpleasant experiences. Especially for outdoor events or venues with limited indoor facilities, portable toilets are not just a convenience—they’re a necessity. Types of Portable Toilets for Events At Southern Colorado Services & Recycling, we offer a variety of portable toilet options to meet your needs: • Standard Portable Toilets: Ideal for most public events, these units are well-ventilated and regularly serviced. • Deluxe Units: These come with extra space, hand sanitizers, and may include a sink for added comfort. • Handwashing Stations: Placed next to restroom areas, these stations help maintain hygiene, especially when food is being served. • ADA-Compliant Units: Designed to be accessible for guests with disabilities, ensuring inclusivity for all attendees. How Many Units Do You Need? A good rule of thumb is one toilet per 50 guests for events lasting a few hours. For longer events or those serving food and beverages, consider increasing the number. Our team is happy to help you estimate how many units you need based on your expected attendance and event duration. Benefits of Renting with Southern Colorado Services & Recycling • Clean, Sanitized Units: We pride ourselves on delivering thoroughly cleaned and regularly serviced restrooms. • On-Time Delivery and Pickup: Our team ensures your units are set up and ready before your event begins. • Responsive Customer Service: We’re just a call away if you need assistance or additional servicing.
