PAINT PICK UP 5/23-5/27

Get FREE paint for your next project

For the third year, The Green Project is partnering with the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation on a Paint Reclamation Project at Household Hazardous Materials (HHM) Collection Day. The project diverts usable paint from disposal; provides nonprofits, artists, and residents with usable paint, free of charge; offers New Orleans residents a way to recycle some household hazardous waste; and protects our environment.

At the City’s Annual Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day (scheduled for Saturday, May 13, 2023, 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, in addition to other selected items. Usable water-based and oil-based paint will be reclaimed. Paint will then be sorted into like colors for the community to use. 

Paint will be available to nonprofits, artists, and residents for use within their respective facilities and for their programming as a free community service provided by The Green Project and the City of New Orleans. Paint pick-up is May 23 - May 27. Commercial use and contractors are not eligible.
