An estimated 32,546 L of latex paint were collected between
September 2009 and October 2012. There is no data available for
the total amount generated or the total amount sold in SLO
County. However, according to Paintcare (2012), approximately
10% of paint sold in California is classified as “leftover” paint,
which equaled 6 million gallons in 2010, with approximately 70%
being latex paint. Extrapolating this to SLO County, which has
0.72% of the California’s population, the estimated, annual generation
rate is 30,240 gallons (114,470 L) of leftover, unused latex
paint, or 364,385 L during the 38 months latex paint has been
subject to the SLO mandatory retail take-back program. Thus, the
SLO program collected/diverted at estimated 28.43% of leftover
paint.
