Agenda
1. Paint Disposal
Dana explained that the annual regional household hazardous waste collection day was
typically held the first Saturday in October at Public Works for many years. The last such
collection was held in October of 2013. Since then there have been limited options for
residents to dispose of paint products. Similar to the electronics program in place for several
years, paint manufacturers have joined together and formed Paint Care, a stewardship program
to provide for disposal for paint products.
Paint Care, through their sub-contractor, Clean Harbors would like to hold a collection day on
October 10, 2015 in Bangor to receive paint from anyone in the region who wanted to dispose
of paint. Dana offered the Public Works compound. There would be no cost or additional
staffing requirements from the City. Paint Care wished only to use of the yard and rest room
facilities.
Wynne Guglielmo will be present to assure there is no environmental liability for the City. Staff
requested permission to move forward with this collection day at the Public Works facility.
Paint Care would also like to discuss the possibility of a future program for City of Bangor
residents and businesses only to be able to bring paints to Public Works. Clean Harbors would
then pick up the paint, again at no cost to the City.
Vote: Moved and Seconded. Unanimous
