Keep Chesterton Beautiful

Beautiful

It's our responsibility to Keep Chesterton Beautiful. Not only is trash or litter unsightly, it contributes to water pollution. The top trash is found along the roads are plastics and cigarette butts.

Recycle Your Latex Paint

Hopkins Ace Hardware now offers latex paint recycling. For a minimal fee you can drop off unwanted latex paint. Although latex paint is considered non-toxic, it is still made-up of potentially toxic chemicals.

The paint is collected and taken to a facility in Grayslake, Illinois where it is separated and bulked into 55 gallon drums. It is either processed into new, usable latex paint or made into a filler product used in the manufacturing of concrete.

Hopkins Ace Hardware is located at:

325 S. Calumet Road
