The third annual Colorado Recycles Week kicks off Monday, Nov. 15 and runs through Friday, Nov. 19. Along with America Recycles Day on Nov. 15, this helps educate residents about the variety of recycling options available.

One example is PaintCare, a nonprofit that serves the Denver metro area and El Paso County. It offers free pick-up from homes with 10 or more gallons of unused paint, stain and varnish.
