Latex paint recycling FAQs
Why recycle latex paint?
Did you know that every household in America has between one and three gallons of unwanted latex paint? It may be tempting to throw those cans away, but it’s important to note that the chemicals used to make latex paint can leach into the ground and get into the water supply.
Recycling paint so that it can be used within your community as graffiti cover-up paint, Habitat for Humanity Restore paint, or school program paint just makes sense for the environment! Over 750,000 gallons have been re-manufactured and applied to surfaces in the United States since 2010 through ePaint’s awesome program!
Who do you partner with to recycle latex paint?
