How do I go green?

Reduce

Some companies offer paint that uses clay and natural oils as a base, rather than petroleum. Using an environmentally friendly paint will reduce your impact on the environment and keep your home safer and healthier. Choose oil paints made from linseed oil and turpentine to reduce your carbon footprint.

Use top quality paint to increase time between recoating. Look for products that use environmentally friendly products and containers. Look for paint first at a paint exchange before buying new.

Reuse

Hartland landfill has a paint exchange; the ReStore also accepts used paint for resale. Could friends or family use your leftover paint?

Recycle

Paint is a Product Stewardship Item but also a household hazardous waste. It can be dropped off at no charge at the Hartland Landfill Recycling Facility. Check the listings below for additional drop off locations.
