Where Can I Dispose of My Latex Paint? How Can I Recycle Paint?
|
THE CONCERN:
California law prohibits disposing of paints into landfills with steep fines imposed for improper disposal practices as paint is considered a hazardous waste.
YOUR SOLUTIONS:
For Residential / Homeowner:
Contact your local city hall for the closest Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop off location (limited to 15-gallons per vehicle and for local residents only). Check www.earth911.com to find the closest HHW for not only for latex paint, but any material you would like to have recycled. These HHW sites are are typically contracted with us and deliver their colected paint to our facility for processing into reusable paint resources.
For Commercial / Trade:
Contact Acrylatex Coatings & Recycling, Inc., a California certified latex paint recycling facility in Azusa, California. We have programs available to accept your old, unused and excess latex paints in any condition. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) sites will refuse any quantity of paint if you are either a commercial or non-profit entity.

CONTRACTORS CAN RECYCLE FOR FREE!*Announcing the "Get with the Program" recycling program! 1.) A contractor purchases recycled latex paint from Acrylatex Coatings & Recycling (ACR) products.
2.) They use the recycled paint accordingly to try to produce as little waste as possible from proper job estimating.
3.) They re-use any left-over paint in other projects before considering it to be waste or surplus material.
4.) They wash tools, brushes and other equipment into approved storage containers that can be supplied by ACR if requested in advance.
5.) Acrylatex Coatings & Recycling will pick up and recycle at NO CHARGE up to 20% by volume, of Excluded Recyclable Material generated from the use of Acrylatex Coatings & Recycling supplied products*.
This service is designed to aid and assist in approved waste management practices for local contractor businesses. Acrylatex Coatings & Recucling, Inc., can also provide all the necessary labels and shipping documents required for transport which are required by law in the event you would like to ship by truck freight or your own truck.
Example: If 200-gallons of paint products were purchased from Acrylatex Coatings & Recycling and during the application process 40-gallons of excess paint and wash water was generated from the cleaning of tools and airlines. This equates to 20% of the volume of product original purchase in the form of paint.
*Acrylatex can make arrangements to pick-up and recycle this 40-gallons of waste at no charge to the contractor only when a NEW delivery is scheduled for the next order is paint. This eliminates wasted fuel costs and increased air pollution.
