DEQ received PaintCare’s updated Oregon Program Plan for 2021-2025 for review and approval. The program plan describes how PaintCare will conduct a program for the collection, transportation, and end-of-life management of paint, including reuse and recycling. The plan also describes how PaintCare will provide other services such as registration of manufacturers, management of funds, and conduct of education and outreach about the program.

DEQ welcomes any input on PaintCare’s 2021-2025 Program Plan. Other details about the Paint Stewardship Program in Oregon can be found here (https://www.oregon.gov/deq/mm/Pages/Paint.aspx).
