The Paint Stewardship Program, PaintCare, launched in April this year. They coordinate the recycling of latex and oil based paints, stains, shellacs, sealers, coatings, and more by providing drop off sites at paint shops all over King County.  Locally, both Miller Paint and Sherwin-Williams in Burien participate in this program.

I just helped one of my sellers dispose of his old paint. It was easy and convenient. Best of all, I know it’s not going into the drain or landfill. This recycling service is great for when you are moving, renovating, or if you have a few old cans just sitting around in your garage. For more information on the paint products accepted or to find a drop-off location near you, visit www.paintcare.org.

Helping my clients with their chemical recycling isn’t in the official job description as a broker, but it’s one of the many ways I serve my clients as the need arises. When you need someone to cover the details, reach out!
