Hello Megan,
We collected 1,464 containers of latex paint for recycling in 2016. We are simply a collection point and E-paint out of Battle Creek picks up and recycles the paint. We accept all latex paint.
I was not sure if you were interested in this information however I thought I would send it.
Have a great day!

Subject: latex paint re-blend programs
Hello Everyone,
We are trying to collect some preliminary data on a latex re-blend program. One big question we have is how much paint is actually out there. That is where I am hoping you all can come in. Would you be willing to share some information
with me?
Any responses please send to:
megan.kretz@kentcountymi.gov. I can share the data after it is collected.
1.
How much latex paint do you receive in a week? Year? Any data you have that quantifies the amount of latex paint would be useful.
2.
If you accept latex paint, do you also re-blend and offer it back to the community?
3.
If you don’t re-blend the paint, do you offer the gallon size paint cans back to the community through a program?
4.
If you re-blend the paint, how many employees does it take to sustain that individual program?
5.
Do you accept all latex paint or just “the good-stuff”?
6.
What % of latex paint that you take in is given back to the community through a re-use program?
7.
Any other info you want to share would be helpful.
Thanks!
