A recovery system for solvent used to clean coating material from a multiple-color coating material dispensing system which undergoes frequent color changes includes a vacuum source over the recovered solvent in a recovery tank. The system is switched during the color change cycle from a mode in which solvent is dispensed to clean a pre-change color from a dispensing device to a mode in which the vacuum withdraws solvent remaining in a solvent delivery line to the dispensing device into the recovery tank. Solvent usage, disposal of discarded solvent, and other environmental considerations are salutarily affected.
