Fridley's Amazon Paint to Get Busy When Manufacturers Get Recycling Bill

A coming shift in who pays for paint recycling means more work for Amazon Paint in Fridley, according to the Star Tribune: 

“'Some of our customers order by the truckload,' said general manager Martin Bergstedt, adding that Amazon processes 400,000 gallons of paint each year to be sold to apartment managers, contractors, reuse stores and Habitat for Humanity.

"Bergstedt’s crew will soon be a lot busier as a new Minnesota law will make it easier for homeowners to recycle used paint. The guidelines, which will go into effect next summer ... will shift the cost of post-consumer paint waste onto manufactures instead of counties, which currently collect oil and latex house paint from consumers and sometimes charge a fee for the service."
