Local Color bucket 2015

Ever wonder what happens to perfectly good leftover paint?

Nearly half the latex paint we receive we recycle into Local Color Paint. The rest is recycled elsewhere or disposed of responsibly. That’s one way CSWD is working to manage the future’s problems – today.

Out of the thousands of gallons brought to the CSWD Environmental Depot each year, our expert staff hand-select the highest quality latex paints for recycling into Local Color.

After being sorted by color, each small batch is double-filtered for premium quality and blended to a consistent, silky-smooth low sheen finish.

Benefits

I love how thick Local Color paint is for one-coat coverage!

-Vermont landlord

Durability

Local Color is known for its long-lasting thickness. It can be washed and scrubbed, and often covers in one coat.

Affordability

Go easy on your wallet! Local Color costs about half as much as new paint – as low as $11 per gallon!

FeelGoodability

By buying Local Color, you are not only giving your walls a fresh new look, you are also supporting the “local loop” – the responsible & sustainable management of our community resources, here at home in Chittenden County. That’s something we can all feel good about together.

Colors

Local Color is available in 11 colors with a variety of shades for each color. Note: The variety of colors that come in daily for recycling allows us to blend a spectrum of colors instead of just one shade. It can vary between batches, so be sure to purchase enough for your job and subsequent touch-ups if required.

Find Your Color Match

Local Color Maple Cream 2 Gal barcode breakdown showing which part of the barcode is the color code, the batch number, and the date it was mixed.

If you need to match your new color to a previous paint that you used, you’ll need to have a paint made from the same batch as your last job. The batch number can be found on the middle three numbers of the barcode on your paint can (see the image on the right for an example).
