Why are we able to recycle paint in Washington?
In 2019, our state passed extended producer responsibility legislation to make sure residents had a way to recycle their leftover paint. The program is funded through a fee put on all architectural paint greater than half a pint sold in Washington.
PaintCare is the nonprofit stewardship organization designated to facilitate collection. They in turn collaborate with GreenSheen, which produces quality, latex house paint in 18 colors (and costing up to 75% less than traditional paint) by recycling an impressive 95% of the paint.
The year-round drop-off site for your leftover paint on Bainbridge is Mallory Paint Store on Hildebrand. Refer to the above list for what is accepted. Other locations can be found here.
