Paint Recycling Program Launches in Washington State

Do you have an assortment of old paint, primers, stains, sealers, etc., taking up your valuable space? If so, you are in luck, because we have begun a partnership with the PaintCare program. This program specializes in collecting and properly recycling/disposing of unused paint and similar products. Disposing of paint can be a confusing and time-consuming process, leaving many Americans with a surplus of unwanted leftover paint. This results in an estimated 10% or 80 million gallons of architectural paint wasted each year. Due to the overwhelming need, we concluded it would be beneficial to provide PaintCare’s services to you as one of our valued clients. A full description of PaintCare and its services is provided below.

PaintCare Inc. is a non-profit organization that represents paint manufacturers (paint producers) to plan and operate paint stewardship programs in U.S. states and jurisdictions that pass paint stewardship laws. PaintCare is a program of the American Coatings Association (ACA) a membership-based trade association of the paint manufacturing industry. Working through the Paint Producer Stewardship Initiative (PPSI), ACA supported the passage of the nation’s first paint stewardship law in Oregon and established PaintCare in 2009. Since then, PaintCare has launched programs across the country following the passage of similar laws in California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maine, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, and, most recently, Washington and New York.
