Lake Area Industry Alliance will host a Paint Recycling event on Saturday, April 29 from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Lake Charles Civic Center.

“This is an environmentally friendly way for homeowners to pass along paint they no longer need,” says Jim Rock, executive director with LAIA.

Signs will direct residents to donation area and volunteers from local industries and civic groups will help unload the paint.

Residential paint that will be accepted are latex and enamel and both interior and exterior. Items that will not be accepted include oil, stain, anti-freeze, chemicals, varnish, paint thinner, aerosol cans, electronics or solid wastes.

All paint will be donated to local charities.
