Subchapter
004
:
PAINT PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
(Cite as: 10 V.S.A. § 6671)
-
§ 6671. Purpose
The purpose of this subchapter is to establish an environmentally sound, cost-effective
Paint Product Stewardship Program in the State that will undertake responsibility
for the development and implementation of strategies to reduce the generation of postconsumer
paint; promote the reuse of postconsumer paint; and collect, transport, and process
postconsumer paint, including reuse, recycling, energy recovery, and disposal. The
Paint Product Stewardship Program will follow the waste management hierarchy for managing
and reducing postconsumer paint in the order as follows: reduce consumer generation
of postconsumer paint, reuse, recycle, provide for energy recovery, and dispose. The
Paint Product Stewardship Program will provide more opportunities for consumers to
manage properly their postconsumer paint, provide fiscal relief for local government
in managing postconsumer paint, keep paint out of the waste stream, and conserve natural
resources. (Added 2013, No. 58, § 1, eff. June 3, 2013; amended 2025, No. 59, § 14, eff. June 11, 2025.)
