What we take
Latex paint
In the past, the recommended way to dispose of latex paint was to dry it out (often chemically) and then send cans to the landfill. This left us wanting more as it took time, landfill space, and often came with an added charge from our local trash company.
A better way now exists! Latex paint can now be recycled. Cans you no longer need can be combined with other paint before it gets turned into a new type. Better still, any metal or plastic in the cans is recycled as well!
What we do with it
When you give your latex paint to Ridwell, it is used to create new paint! Reformatted latex paint is often sold to groups that support low-income homeowners and organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Plus, the metal and plastic paint cans can be recycled!

GreenSheen
We’re partnering with GreenSheen to recycle your latex paint. GreenSheen combines the latex paint they collect, re-tints it, and then sells it through various non-profit, retail and commercial partners, like Habitat for Humanity ReStores. Even better, they recycle the cans that paint comes in to reduce waste further!
