For the fourth year, The Green Project is partnering with the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation on a Paint Reclamation Project at Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Materials Collection Day.

At the City’s Annual HHW Materials Collection Day (scheduled for Saturday, May 8, 2021 from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at 2829 Elysian Fields Ave.), Orleans Parish residents drop off a significant amount of paint.

The project diverts usable paint from disposal; provides residents with usable paint, free of charge; offers New Orleans residents a way to recycle some household hazardous waste; and protects our environment.

HOW IT WORKS

Usable water-based and oil-based paint will be reclaimed, sorted into like colors, and available for the community to pick up for free. Open to all residents in Orleans Parish. No sign up required; drop in during the hours listed below:
