1. CLEAN BRUSH
Wipe it dry. Paint excess onto plywood or cardboard. Squeeze rollers.
Remove as much paint as possible before rinsing
2. DIRTY BUCKET
Swish brushes in the dirty bucket, squeegee excess water, move on to the rinse bucket.
Use our grates & combs to remove any debris
3. DUMP SINK
Rinse brushes clean in a sink connected to plumbing. Dry buckets or rags are safe to throw in the trash.
Locate the Sink Stations on event map.

Green Stations are located at every intersection, and we’ve marked the storm drains to warn against common mistakes. Don’t dump anything in the storm drain.
Don’t dump on the soil, either. Seriously, y’all. I’m not sure what people think happens to paint in the dirt, or where it goes after it you pour dirty paint water in the gutters; but it ain’t pretty.
“Water that enters the storm sewer system flows directly into our ponds, streams, rivers and lakes – without being treated.”
Even after you finish cleaning, you can reuse the water to wash your tools again. When it’s time to dispose of it, use a sink connected to a wastewater sewer; those pipes go to a water treatment facility.
