Latex paint seems to be a never-ending recycling problem. . .
 
We had a resale store for years that collected 'good, usable paint with at least 1/2 the can full' for us; then distributed it for free to their clients/customers.  Worked well until they sold the store a month ago!
 
We then went to Habitat and they accepted and sorted last Sat. at our event; however, they plan to sell it at $1.00 per container.
 
We hand out an informative simple flyer explaining how to harden latex paint and toss with regular trash; if they don't have any of the good stuff.  We refuse to accept and pay for all the latex that comes in.
 
Hope this info helps

Thanks for setting up the meeting Cindy!

 

Please RSVP on or before June 10.

 

Also, I am looking for the approximate annual cost from anyone collecting latex paint and what percent of your disposal budget goes to latex paint? If anyone does collect latex paint, is there ever a slow down or does it just keep coming in?

 

Thank you,

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first time using our new listserv to send out a meeting notice, so please let me know if you notice that I’ve left anyone out. I hope everyone’s Monday is going well – not the greatest weather here for the first day of June but I’m sure the flowers and gardens appreciated the rain this weekend.

 

Our next HHW Roundtable meeting will be Monday, June 15th. As you can see it is a pretty short agenda at the moment – feel free to let me know of any topics you’d like added.

 

I hope we can get a big turnout.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Cindy Foster
