We always recommend to residents that if they are throwing away hardened paint, they should keep the lid off so if the driver sees the can, it can be easily determined that it is legal for them to accept it.

 

Related, half the haulers in our county accept empty paint cans (both metal and plastic) for recycling, empty being defined as having only the skin of the paint left.

We work with ePaint also and have been really pleased with them.  We have also used their paints and they are great!

 

I’ve never heard of haulers not taking hardened latex paint, except if it isn’t clear that it is hardened when they go to collect it.

At Recycle Livingston, we have been using E-Paint in Battle Creek.  We had some issues to work out with this company in the beginning of our relationship however we were able to resolve them all.  The contact information is E-Paint Recycling, Jim Crosby @269.760.8143 located at 56 Leonard Wood Drive, Battle Creek, MI  49037.  Our charge is $1 per container and so we ask for $2 a container.  Most people are more than happy to pay for this service and the paint is recycled.

 

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Hi Cynthia – I am unable to attend your meetings but very interested in know how others handle latex paint. We do not accept latex paint at our HHW collection. For the past 13 years I have been educating folks on how to dispose of latex paint (see attached). Our HHW collection was last Saturday. It was just brought to my attention that waste haulers WILL NOT accept hardened paint.

 

Would like to know how others handle this.

 

Thank you.

 

Charmaine Lucas
