The Environmental Impact of Green Paint Selection
How Amazon Paint closes the loop on leftover paint — bypassing raw extraction, conserving energy, earning LEED credits, and reprocessing every container that comes through the Fridley facility.
Amazon Paint has been recycling leftover paint in Minnesota since 1992. Usable water-based paint that would otherwise be disposed of is recovered and re-manufactured into interior and exterior products — a better use for leftover paint than disposal, and one that keeps material out of local landfills.
We are a primary contract processor for the PaintCare stewardship program and a partner of LJP Waste Solutions, serving customers and communities across Minnesota, the Greater Midwest and beyond.

Control paint costs without giving up dependable coverage and performance. Amazon Paint supplies recycled latex paint to professional painters, property managers, multifamily owners and other commercial buyers who need practical colors, repeat volume and responsive fulfillment.
Tell us the colors, container sizes and quantities your project calls for, and we will talk through packaging, pickup or delivery and timing.

Recycled paint is an excellent value compared with many conventional new-paint options, which makes it a practical choice for projects where quality, coverage and budget all matter — rental turns, repaints, maintenance schedules and large residential jobs.
Pricing varies by participating retailer and by order volume. Retailers that carry Amazon Paint set their own shelf prices, so contact the store directly for what is in stock and what it costs. For contractor and commercial quantities, talk with us directly and we will price the order around the product, packaging and delivery you need.
our process start to finish
Paint arrives from county household hazardous waste programs, retail takeback networks and contractors. Operators handle every container by hand to verify it holds liquid latex paint.
Each can is opened and checked. Paint that is hard, separated or sour is diverted; healthy paint goes into a feedstock drum for its color family.
Drums of the same color family are pumped into an industrial tank and mixed to a uniform, consistent batch.
Every batch is checked for viscosity, sheen, coverage, pH, gloss and color variance, then adjusted with additives as needed.
The finished paint is filtered to remove fine particles, then packaged into new cans and pails and labeled as Amazon Select recycled-content paint.
Packaged cans and pails are shipped to our nationwide network of retail partners, arriving on store shelves ready for your next project.
