Reducing Local Government Costs through Effective Paint Management Strategies

DESCRIPTION

This analysis by Kimbra Andrews highlights the impact of leftover paint management on local government programs, particularly in San Joaquin County. It reveals how a nationally-coordinated system can alleviate the financial burden of managing household hazardous waste (HHW), especially regarding paint. In FY 2006/07, the county spent $306,000 on paint management—27% of its total HHW costs. Implementing standards for recycled paint can reduce recycling costs and increase market demand, saving money for local governments while promoting eco-friendly practices.
