Paint Stewardship bill passed; bag bill failed to advance

The 2019 legislative session was a banner year for environmental bills. Thanks to support from you and the leadership of our environmental champions in the legislature, we are thrilled to announce that 5 of 9 bills that we and our partners worked on are passing into law! Now, for example, residents across Washington will be able to recycle old paint for free starting in November 2020! Unfortunately, the bag bill didn’t make it.
