PAINT RECYCLING IN MOUNTAIN VIEW Three Mountain View paint retailers are among 22 businesses across Santa Clara County now participating in a statewide initiative to recycle unwanted or excess paint from residential and commercial sources. The Dunn-Edwards store at 1949 El Camino Real, and two Kelly Moore stores, at 180 El Camino Real and 411 Fairchild Dr., will accept leftover paint as part of the California Paint Stewardship Program. The program, established in 2010, requires paint manufactures to develop and operate a take-back system to prevent people from disposing of paint improperly. By setting hundreds of drop-off sites statewide, lawmakers are also looking to take some of the financial burden off of local, government-run household hazardous waste programs, which often operate with strained budgets and limited days of operation. Small charges applied to the purchase price of paint in California will fund the stewardship program. The fees, assessed by container size, range from $0.35 for up to a gallon of paint, $.0.75 for one gallon, and $1.60 for one to five gallons of paint. According to industry estimates, more than 700 million gallons of architectural paint is sold each year in the U.S., and about 10 percent is available for recycling. Paint disposed of inappropriately can become an acute environmental hazard if it finds its way into storm drains, where untreated pollutants can be carried into streams and rivers and harm aquatic ecosystems. —Dominic Fracassa
