Help Color Carrollton and show off those art skills by signing up to paint one of 16 lucky, industrial-size plastic trash cans for the softball fields at Carrollton’s McInnish Sports Complex (2335 Sandy Lake Road). The theme for this season will be Softball Sunsets.

Trash cans will be primed with a white base coat, and can be picked up on Saturday, May 1. Cans must be painted and returned by Saturday, May 29 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at McInnish Sports Complex softball fields one to four.

City staff will seal the trash cans with an outdoor protective topcoat after participants drop off their finished masterpiece. Participants must complete a Color Carrollton agreement stating that they will submit their design idea for the trash can in writing to Kayla.camargo@cityofcarrollton.com. A deposit of $25 is required and will be refunded if the agreement is followed and the trash can is returned painted.

Register at cityofcarrollton.com/signupnow by Wednesday, April 28 at 11:59 p.m. Written design ideas are due at time of registration. Acrylic paint is recommended. Space is limited.
