About PaintCare in California
PaintCare is a nonprofit organization committed to making it easy and convenient to recycle postconsumer (leftover) paint in states with paint stewardship laws. They help households, businesses and institutions by:
- Setting up drop-off locations for leftover paint, primers, stains, sealers and clear coatings
- Arranging for recycling and proper disposal
- Educating the public about safe and responsible paint disposal
Most of the collected paint is recycled into new paint, while some is made available for immediate reuse or turned into something new. Since its launch in 2012, Nearly 34 million gallons of paint, stain, and varnish have been managed by PaintCare’s California program.
