Record year at county Household Hazardous Waste facility

When you buy containers of paint in a retail setting, the State of Minnesota collects a fee through the sale price that was created by state lawmakers in 2013. The fee revenues pay for the “PaintCare Program,” an organized effort for recycling of old paint products and containers. According to Chisago County’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility Coordinator, Paul Dennison, the local participation rate has grown as people have become aware of the recycling opportunity at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility and the county’s activity in the paint recycling program keeps growing.
