California Program

California is the second state in the U.S. to enact model, industry supported, paint product stewardship legislation. This model legislation ensures environmentally responsible end-of-life management for leftover architectural paint while relieving local and state governments of the economic burden of post-consumer paint management. PaintCare is developing a state-wide network of collection locations. Consumers should look for updates to the program throughout 2012. Update to this site will be made as program locations and implementation dates approach.

Doing Business with PaintCare:

To implement California PaintCare, contracts are being issued for 1) Paint Management/Processing, and 2) Paint Transportation. PaintCare will concurrently evaluate the following Paint Management/Processing RFP (Request for Proposal) and Paint Transportation RFI (Request for Information) to determine the best combination of service providers to implement the California Program. Details and submittal instructions are included in the following attachments. Please check this site frequently for updates and addendums.

Note: Government entities in California providing regional paint transportation or paint processing services to PaintCare should not respond to either RFP/RFI. If you are already, or intend on providing these services within your community, please contact us directly.

 

Paint Management/Processing RFP – Submittals Due January 18, 2012, 5 p.m. PST

  2. operating processing center(s) for the temporary storage, sorting, and processing of program products for proper end-of-life management (reuse, recycling, energy recovery and/or disposal); and

  3. performing the proper end-of-life activity for the program products and/or sending the program products to a facility which performs such activity, and properly tracking such activities.
