Fee and Funding

PaintCare programs are funded by a fee (referred to as the PaintCare fee) which is applied to the purchase price of each container of new paint sold in the state. There is no charge for dropping off paint at a PaintCare drop-off site. The PaintCare fee is not a tax or a deposit. The fee funds all aspects of the paint stewardship program. For more information on the fee, visit the PaintCare Fee Page.

The fee in Oregon is based on container size as follows:

$0.00

Half pint or smaller

$0.45

Larger than half pint up to smaller than 1 gallon

$0.95

1–2 gallons

$1.95

Larger than 2 gallons up to 5 gallons
