Paint Recycling recognizes the importance of local paint recycling programs. Let’s create more community paint reuse and recycling programs to make a positive impact on our neighborhoods and environment. Most homeowners have 5-10 gallons sitting in their garage gathering dust. Why not recycle them? Every effort counts.
Community Paint Recycling programs play a vital role in environmental sustainability. By collecting leftover paint and redistributing it to individuals, families, communities, businesses or charities in need, we transform unused resources into opportunities for positive change.
Recycling helps to protect our natural resources. Each year the ‘Seventh Resource’ (recyclables) saves over 700 million tons in CO2 emissions and this is projected to increase to 1 billion tons by 2030. Recycling is a front line effort to use our resources wisely.
Let’s celebrate the earth by creating more community paint reuse and recycling programs with the goal of eliminating wasted paint. Professional painters can post on facebook or instagram that they have extra paint for homeowners who are looking for some.
