DID YOU KNOW THAT IN BROWARD COUNTY, FL YOU CAN GET EXTERIOR PAINT FOR YOUR HOUSE FOR FREE?

Attending Hollywood’s Code Academy recently I learned about a wonderful program called “Paint it Broward”.  This program began in 1999 and more then 30,000 gallons of paint have been given away since its inception.   Last year in the City of Hollywood alone 750 properties were painted using the paint from this program!

Where do they get the paint?  All of the latex paint collected at Broward County’s Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program is re-blended and recycled into new, high-quality exterior paint which is available to residents at no cost!

Visit http://www.broward.org/waste/iwi04100.htm to see more about the paint recycling program including a list of participating cities including Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Plantation and Sunrise, just to name a few.

After you pick up the pain you have 60 days to use it.  Someone from the city then comes out to inspect.  The program is intended for single family homes only; no commercial properties or multi family dwellings are included.
So no more excuses; get out there and improve the appearance of our neighborhoods.  Paint it Broward!!
