PaintShare compensation increase

Every paint can you collect and give away through the PaintShare program is now worth $1

From coast to coast, PaintShare has helped keep unwanted and leftover paint from contaminating our environment by putting it back where it belongs – onto buildings, walls, and into the hands of DIYers and artists.

Effective July 1, 2025, compensation for the PaintShare program in your region will increase from $0.25c to $1 per can–a 300% increase.

We are increasing compensation for PaintShare to further incentivize paint reuse and increase the success of the program.

There’s nothing for you to do to benefit from this change. Starting July 1, every PaintShare form submitted to Product Care will be eligible for the increase. We’ve also updated our program Guidelines; before summer ramps up, now is a great time to brush up on the process and frequently asked questions.

Your feedback on the program or suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Please share your thoughts by emailing: recyclingservices@productcare.org.

On behalf of everyone at Product Care, our sincere thanks for your continued support, participation, and for helping make our communities a little more colourful!
