The Programs Division of the Escambia County Waste Services Department is pleased to offer free re-blended paint each Thursday at the Perdido Landfill, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Latex paint is screened twice, re-blended and put into new five-gallon buckets. The paint is safe for both interior and exterior projects.
A variety of colors are available, including creamy white, blue or green. Please call (850) 937-2160 for additional information and color availability.

I have used a lot of the County’s re-blended paint over the years for interior work and have not had any problems. The paint should be applied immediately because it does not contain preservatives and mold will infest the surface of the paint in the bucket (not on the wall) after it sits for several months. This is a great service provided by the County and you can’t beat the price, i.e., the price of a 5-gallon bucket with lid that can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes.
