Earth Day 2023, April 22 -12th Annual Activities and Recycling Hazardous Solid Waste

The Global Paint for Charity, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, and Gwinnett County Solid Waste Division & Partners invite you to our 12th Annual Earth Day Celebration at Coolray Field (formerly known as Gwinnett Stadium), 2500 Buford Dr, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, on Saturday, April 22nd, from 9 am – 12 pm. You will have the opportunity to drop off items that are usually more difficult to recycle, such as paint (Latex and Oil Paint), Electronics, and tires. Paper shredding will also be available.

This event is free to Gwinnett County residents. Gwinnett’s Earth Day Celebration is the world’s largest and oldest recycling event. Consistently attracting 3000-5,000 attendees and partner organizations. We expect to recycle over 6000 gallons of paint in just three hours.
Have you done any renovations to your home recently? Do you have leftover or unused paints from your projects that you can’t get rid of? Well, we have some good news for you. Celebrate 2023 Earth Day by bringing your leftover paint for proper disposal while supporting our free paint donation programs worldwide. Donate your leftover paints and help us change lives and beautify the world, one gallon at a time.

Here are some essential things to remember before you come:
Oil-based and Latex paint will be accepted and limited to 10 gallons per vehicle (Cans must contain 25% wet paint). Could you seal the lid of the containers (buckets and cans) tightly?
Electronics (monitor, TV, and printer)
Paper (shredding up to 5 copier boxes)
Tires are limited to eight tires per vehicle; no dealer tires.

General Precautions:
All attendees should remain in their vehicles at all times
Items and materials to be recycled should be placed in disposable containers or boxes
Containers (Buckets or Cans of paint) or packs of quarts should be placed on the trunks or backs of vehicles, where they will be removed by Global Paint representatives and not returned.

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide in April to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970 and included events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network in more than 193 countries. It may be hard to imagine that before 1970, a factory could spew black clouds of toxic smoke into the air or dump tons of hazardous and toxic waste into landfills, which was perfectly legal. There was no Clean Air Act, no U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), no Clean Water Act, and most importantly, no legal or regulatory guidelines or tools to protect our environment. They could not be taken to court to stop illegal dumping.

Recycling is good for the earth, so in honor of the 2023 Earth Day event, Global Paint and Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful encourages you to protect our planet and not abuse it.

COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION IN LAS VEGAS

You are invited to our 10th Annual Community Beautification project this Memorial Holiday, Monday, May 30th, from 8:00 am-1:00 pm.

We are partnering with The Chamber of Cannabis, 100 Black Men of Las Vegas, Cascade Construction, and Trim Care Health Center to paint the interior of the Caridad Hebron Garden Apartments for Veterans at 1150 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89104-1312. Caridad is a non-profit organization whose mission is to humanize the homeless.

Each year, Global Paint for Charity partners with corporations and non-profit groups to organize this special community beautification day to ensure the community is supported. In the past we painted The Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter in Midtown Atlanta, The Empire Board of Realtists, Inc. building in Westside Atlanta, the Caryville Work Camp Buildings in Caryville, GA, the Nevada Homes for Youth Inc in Las Vegas, and The LGBT Center of southern Florida, to name a few.

Global Paint for Charity Inc. (AKA “GPC” or “Global Paint”) is a non-governmental organization that collects discarded Latex paint from businesses, residents, and manufacturers that would otherwise end up in the waste stream instead, we provide the products to needy charities and vulnerable individuals in developing countries around the world, as well as targeting domestic communities in the United States. Through our Paint Project & Beautification Programs, we have worked with local youth, community groups, and volunteers from many corporations to paint for elderly seniors and widows, veterans, and the homeless in neglected areas within our local communities. At Global Paint for Charity, we believe a coating of paint on the walls can have a significant, positive, and powerful impact on people’s lives for many years to come.

ABOUT US

Global Paint for Charity Inc. (AKA “GPC” or “Global Paint”) is the first sustainable paint waste management and the largest exporter and provider of Latex paint to millions of people in 45 countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, Latin America, as well as nationally underserved communities right here in the United States. Global Paint for Charity helps ecosystems by recycling latex paint products from businesses, residents, and manufacturers that would otherwise end up in the waste stream. The organization brings hope, joy, color, and beauty to communities ravaged by disaster, extreme poverty, or otherwise lack resources. We are leading the way. Global Paint for Charity’s work recycles those leftover paints to beautify the world and transforms people’s lives. We believe a coating of paint on the walls can have a significant, positive, and powerful impact on people’s lives for many years to come.

Under the Environmental Protection Act, it is now illegal to dispose of paints in landfills. In contrast, more than 2.5 billion families have never had access to a painted house in developing countries. In addition, it is estimated that 80 % of the world´s schools in third-world countries face a dreary reality or unpainted walls due to a lack of paint access.

Only 7% of leftover paint in the U.S. is currently recycled. Over 150 million gallons of paint end up as waste every year, and it only takes one gallon to pollute up to 250,000 gallons of drinking water. Global Paint was created to change that. We are an organization working toward sustainable solutions to paint waste.

Join 100 Black Men of Las Vegas and Global Paint for Charity in a Community Service Project at the Nevada Homes for Youth

This May, a community service project aimed at renovating the Nevada Homes for Youth Inc. has been scheduled. The 100 Black Men of Las Vegas and Global Paint for Charity have announced they would be participating.

Community service is at the core of societal development. For any society to record unprecedented levels of growth and development, its members must look beyond what they can get from it to give back to society. For this reason, the 100 Black Men of Las Vegas and Global Paint for Charity Inc. will be participating in a community service project in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Douglas Gibson and Charles Cox of 100 Black Men of Las Vegas, Rony Delgarde of Global Paint for Charity, and Kenny Cottrell of Nevada Bio-Hazard Decon Team will be spearheading the renovation project.
The project aims at renovating the Nevada Homes for Youth by painting the interior of the group home for youth with substance abuse problems. 100 Black Men of Las Vegas, in conjunction with Global Paint for Charity Inc., will be joining Sherwin Williams Paints and Nevada Bio-Hazard Decon Team LLC in carrying out the project.

The Nevada Homes for Youth Inc. is a drug treatment center licensed by Nevada that focuses on youths living in Nevada. Led by Ronald C. Moore, MSW, the NHY staff comprises certified drug counselors, state-certified teachers, and experienced professionals.
Nevada Homes for Youth provides inpatient and outpatient treatment services for persons who have suffered from substance abuse. They are currently ten males living at the Nevada Home for Youth. Most of the residents are teenagers of low income and color.

Sherwin Williams will provide paint and other related material for the community service project. This project will take place during Sherwin Williams National Paint Week, May 23-29, 2021. Nevada Bio-Hazard Decon Team LLC will provide PPE and construction management expertise to ensure that project will be completed safely. Global Paint for Charity Inc. will provide community service management and resources for organizing community service painting events.
The community service project is set to hold on May 29, 2021, and will involve interior paintings, replacing ceiling lights, purchasing large poster frames, and recycling unused materials, among other things.

The Global Paint for Charity, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, and Gwinnett County Solid Waste Division & Partners would like to invite you and your neighbors to participate in America Recycles Day (ARD) on Saturday, November 14, 2020, between 9 AM and 2 PM at Coolray Field (2500 Buford Dr, Lawrenceville, GA 30043-2104), home of the AAA Gwinnett Stripers, the Atlanta Braves affiliate in Lawrenceville.

We are very excited that we can still join our partners to provide this suitable event to the local residents. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many people to renovate their homes, which resulted in tons of leftover paints in their basement. Did you paint your home or a room during quarantine? Do you have leftover latex paints from your quarantine projects that you can’t get rid of? (huff!! huff!!) Well, we have some good news for you. Celebrate America Recycles Day by bringing them to Global Paint for Charity to support our paint inventory for local community beautification projects and our paint donation programs worldwide. Donate your leftover paints and help us change lives.

Here are some things to remember before you come:

• Latex paint only (limit of 10 gallons per vehicle). Make sure you seal the lid of the containers (buckets and cans) tightly.
• Electronics ($15 cash fee per monitor or TV; $5 cash fee per printer)
• Paper (shredding up to 5 copier boxes)

General America Recycles Day COVID19 Precautions

To ensure the safety of our attendees, the Gwinnett County Solid Waste Division staff and partners, there will be certain precautions in place to help navigate the COVID19 social distancing guidelines:

• Registration is encouraged to reduce congestion. Please visit https://www.globalpaints.org/volunteer or VolunteerGwinnett.net to register.
• All attendees are encouraged to wear masks
• All attendees should remain in their vehicle at all times
• Items and materials to be recycled should be placed in disposable containers or boxes

This level of preparedness and awareness will enable a safe and successful event for everyone. For more information, please call the Solid Waste Call Center at 770.822.7141 or Global Paint for Charity at 855-853-7772.

Since 1997, waste management agencies and communities across the country have come together in November to celebrate America Recycles Day. It is one day to get our neighbors, friends, and community leaders excited about what can be accomplished when we all work together to keep our planet clean and beautiful. One event to make recycling a more unique and fashionable day than any other days of the year.
