apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

You've finished painting your walls and successfully brought new life to your interior. Job well done. But what about the excess paint, thinners or strippers you've got left? We always recommend keeping a bit of excess paint for touch-up work or future colour matching. But sometimes you have more than you really need.

Leftover paint can be reused or recycled, and the excellent green resource site Earth 911 can help you find paint recycling locations just by plugging in your zip code. We found out that the Saint Vincent de Paul Los Angeles Thrift Store and Los Angeles-Glendale S.A.F.E. Center are the nearest drop off centers that are willing to take in commercial paint. Good to know in advance, as we're pondering painting our stairways soon.
