Connecticut Program

Connecticut is the third 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 will implement a paint stewardship program in Connecticut beginning July 2013.
