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.

Every year in the U.S. alone, approximately 75 million gallons of paint goes unused, gets irresponsibly discarded, or is dumped into landfills. As an official, primary contract processor for the PaintCare stewardship program within the state of Minnesota, Amazon Paint specializes in collecting, sorting, processing, and reusing leftover paint, giving new life to old paint so our clients can save big on painting responsibly. Drop off your old paint at our Fridley, MN recycling center today!
None of the millions of pounds of water-based paints we recycle could be possible to produce without the help of you. Every time you drop-off leftover or unused paint at our Fridley, MN facility or any of our satellite drop-off sites, you’re contributing to establishing a more sustainable community.
If you have paint you’d like to recycle with us, we’ll gladly take it off your hands! To minimize misdirected drop-offs and keep our processing lines running safely, we ask all partners and residents to explicitly review our legally permitted guidelines before driving to a collection site.
Containers that are leaking, empty, or without the original printed manufacturer's label are not accepted at drop-off sites.
