Parkrose Hardware joins county’s Paint Take-Back Program

Vancouver, WA – The Parkrose Hardware store located at 16509 S.E. First St. is the newest member of Clark County’s Paint Take-Back Program, which accepts unwanted oil and latex paints and paint-related products, such as paint thinner, for recycling and reuse.

Since it started in January 2005, this free service for residents has collected more than 72,000 pounds of unwanted paint and paint-related products. In addition to Parkrose Hardware, participating stores include the Rodda Paint & Décor Center and two Miller Paint Company stores.

Paint take-back is limited to residential users. The following stores will accept up to 25 gallons of paint or paint-related products per household, per day in five gallon or smaller containers. Leaking, damaged or unlabeled containers will not be accepted. Latex paints collected will be recycled as paint, and oil-base paints and related products will be reused as an alternative fuel.

The locations and hours of each of the participating stores are listed below.
