Local Color Paint

Crafted from only the highest quality paint collected from residents & businesses in the community.

Local Color 5 gallon bucket

Premium Recycled Latex Paint

Ever wonder what happens to perfectly good leftover paint?

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.

When you use recycled paint, you:

  • Reduce demand for production of new paint made from virgin materials
  • Reduce carbon emissions from long-distance transportation of new paint
  • Keep perfectly good paint out of the landfill!

Find Your Color Match

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.

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.

Why Buy Local Color?

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

Go easy on your wallet! Local Color costs about half as much as new paint – check with your local retailer for current pricing.

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.
