Paint: It's what we do...

American Paint Recyclers provides affordable latex paint disposal stores to solid waste districts, private homeowners, and businesses. Every can of paint we receive is quality checked by our processing team, sorted by color, and sent through a series of blending and filtering processes. Additives are introduced during the blending process to ensure each batch is up to our quality standards. After the appropriate quality checks have been performed, EcoTone Paint is ready to be packaged for distribution. We are proud to offer our signature line of EcoTone recycled latex paint at incredible prices, completing the circle and giving your unused paint a new life!

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that our retailers and customers have questions. Answers to some of the most common questions we hear are listed here. Feel free to contact us if you have other questions, or just want to say hello!

Where can I get rid of my unused latex paint?

We get this question a lot! In most cases, you should contact your local solid waste management district (SWMD) as they are probably closer to you than our facility.

In Ohio, you can visit the Ohio EPA site for information on an SWMD in your area, disposal events, fees, and contact information.

Indiana residents, should visit the Association of Indiana Solid Waste Management Districts.

Michigan residents can visit the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy

In Kentucky, residents can visit the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet site for solid waste planning.

In West Virginia, residents can visit the WV Solid Waste Management Board site for more information.

Pennsylvania residents can visit the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection site for more information.

How do I know if my paint is latex?

Look for the one or more of the following terms on the can label: Acrylic, Latex, Water-based, Soap and Water Clean-up.
The following will NOT be accepted: Oil-based, Flammable, Combustible, Alkyd, Stains, Sealers, Roof Coating, Drywall mud, and any other non water-based paint product.

Can I just mix all my paints together and bring them to you?

No. Paint must be in its original container to be recycled.

Can I put my old paint out with the trash?

If your latex paint has completely hardened, and has no remaining liquids in the container, it is safe to put out with the trash. The more paint that is left in the can, the longer it takes to harden. Oil-based paints and stains should be disposed of through your local solid waste district office.

Can I dispose of my paint myself?

Yes. There are several methods of safely disposing of latex paint including:
  • Contact a local paint recycler (Yes, that’s us!)
  • Lay out several layers of old newspaper and pour the remaining contents of the paint container. Allow it to completely dry. Roll up the dried paint and put it out for the trash.
  • Mix the leftover paint with kitty litter or mulch to allow it to completely dry. Put the dried paint out for the trash.

I am a retailer, how do I start selling EcoTone Paint in my store?

Give us a call at 888 978-6558, and we can help you get started! We understand you probably have a lot of questions, and we are here for you. We can tailor a program to meet the needs of your company and position you for success.
