Starting May 1, 2012, consumers of residential-use paint can drop off leftover household paint at paint collection sites located throughout Manitoba, at no charge. This program will ensure that leftover paint in the province is properly recycled at the end of its life.

This program is operated by Product Care Association on behalf of paint manufacturers and retailers in Manitoba in response to the provincial Household Hazardous Material and Prescribed Material Stewardship Regulation.

Phase One of the Manitoba Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program launched on May 1 , 2012 with household paint (and paint aerosols) and fluorescent lights accepted for recycling across the province. The full Manitoba HHW program will expand later in 2012 (Phase Two) with more household hazardous waste materials accepted for recycling.
