Funding
Product Care Recycling is an industry-funded not-for-profit. The New Brunswick paint program is funded entirely by Environmental Handling Fees (EHFs) remitted to Product Care by its industry members. The fees are utilized for the collection, transportation, recycling and safe disposal of returned products, as well as program administration and communication.
The Environmental Handling Fee is part of the price of regulated products and therefore subject to applicable sales taxes. While the taxes are remitted to the government, the fee itself is not remitted to the government.

| 100 mL to 250 mL | $0.30 |
| 251 mL to 1.00 L | $0.50 |
| 1.01 L to 5.00 L | $1.20 |
| 5.01 L to 23.00 L | $2.40 |
| Aerosol paint (all sizes) | $0.35 |
