Where To Donate Paint?

[derekp.livejournal.com]

We have over a dozen different colors of paint in "sample sizes." The sample sizes are far too large for sampling so most of them are nearly full (Benajmin Moore is 1 pint, Sherwin Williams is 2 pints). Seems a shame to dry it out and throw it away. I figure it might be useful for art projects or something. The Environmental Service Guide suggests:

"Surplus Paint: - If the paint is usable and there is a
reasonable quantity, it is recommended that one donate it
to a community service organization or theatre group"

Anyone know of a suitable group to contact or are any of you interested? If memory serves, it's many shades of yellow, cream, blue, and green.

If you don't find a organization to donate to, I'd take them.

I don't care if they go to a person or an organization. I just want them out of my house and not in a landfill. If you'll put them to use, you can have them. Email me: derekprior gmail com

I don't think that I would have enough of a single color to cover an entire wall unless it was really small. Paint stores will sell you paint in less than a 1 gallon size though...

Do you by chance have any of the color codes? I think I would like some too maybe!

I can get them tonight if T @ F doesn't want the donation. I would prefer to just give someone the whole box rather than giving away 1 or 2 to 5-10 different people. But I'm running out of options.

Theater @ First, right in Davis Square, may be able to use them.
