Paint Recycling: More Fun Than Watching It Dry
Tired of telling residents to mix their latex paint with kitty litter and dry it out? Come to this WSRA Washington Recycles Every Day event!
Hear from Clark County, the only county in Washington state that consistently recycles latex paint, PaintCare, and Stericycle. The American Coatings Association will explain their strategy to pass statewide legislation to provide sustainable funding for paint recycling programs, and participants will learn from our neighbors in Oregon about being the first state in the US to pass such legislation and launch PaintCare, which has processed over 2.8 million gallons since 2010. And for the grand finale, participants will tour MetroPaint in Oregon to see how paint is sorted, batched and made back into latex paint. Then we can talk about how to make paint recycling happen in Washington!
Register on the WSRA website for the Dec. 1, 2016 event, 9am - 3pm in Vancouver, WA.
