Clark County residents can now drop off used, leftover paint for free recycling at all Parkrose Hardware locations in the county, after all three have now joined in the county’s Paint Take-Back program.
Latex-based paint dropped off at participating locations is recycled into new paint, and oil-based paint is repurposed as an alternative fuel.
