FAYETTE COUNTY RECYCLING CENTER NOW ACCEPTS LIQUID PAINT
The Fayette County Recycling Center now accepts paint in liquid state allowing residents to properly dispose of paint in a timely manner for a minimal fee. This alleviates the need to go through the process of mixing paint with an absorbent and letting it harden before disposing. Latex, alkyd and acrylic-type paints are accepted as well as spray paint, drywall or joint compound and spray paint cans.
Paint must be in the original, clearly labeled, non-leaking container and not mixed with anything including other paint. Lacquer, thinners, acid stain, lubricants, leaking paint cans and containers without labels will not be accepted.
Disposal rates are $1.25 per quart, $5 per gallon and $25 per 5-gallon bucket. These rates take into consideration that a paint can is probably not full as well as storage and transportation costs.
Waste Management, who operates the recycling center on behalf of Fayette County, will transport the paint to the paint recycling center in Atlanta where paint is collected and processed for reuse.
Liquid paint is the newest addition to wide variety of recycling items including household items, electronics, tires, appliances and yard waste now accepted at the Fayette County Recycling Center. Tire recycling was added in 2011. More information about paint recycling and the recycling center can be found at www.fayettecountyga.gov.
