One day latex paint recycling event in King County
Over six hours on a rainy Saturday in April 2018, 275 residents of Kirkland, WA paid to have 25,000 pounds of latex paint recycled as part of a new service from GreenSheen. As an interim step, until such time as the Washington legislature passes a statewide paint product stewardship law, King County initiated a for-fee latex paint recycling service partnership with GreenSheen and local stores via the Take it Back Network. GreenSheen recently opened a latex paint recycling facility in Kent, and, in addition to those in King County, has partner locations in Bellingham, Longview, Olympia, Anacortes, and Friday Harbor.
