WUR SWMD would like to thank American Paint Recyclers for being at Nettle Creek Ace Hardware on Saturday July 20th for our Latex Paint collection. A total weight of 9,123 pounds of paint was brought in by 72 residents from an estimated 1420 containers in sizes of 1 quart, 1 gallon, and 5 gallon. The paint will be recycled into ECO TONE paint for reuse!
Thank you to the Nettle Creek Ace Hardware employees for helping out along with WUR SWMD board members Barry Ritter, Cathy Williams, and Gary Saunders to make this possible!
