The service aggregates locally recycled latex paint, processes and analyzes it for quality control, and then retrofits candidate material into a new 100% post-consumer, low-volatile organic compound product.[1][3] In order to optimize manufacturing efficiency and to provide a stable consumer product, two pliable shades of beige: Texas Limestone and Balcones Canyonland.[4] According to annual reports, the service produced 8,333 gallons of recycled paint during 2011.[5][6] This number increased to {{convert|12,767|USgal|l|abbr=on}} in 2012.[2] It is also experimenting and researching new ways to improve its process.[2][3] DistributionAustin ReBlend operates out of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Southeast Austin.[4] AvailabilityThe service's recycled paint is made available free of charge to individuals and nonprofit civic organizations.[7] A blacklist is also maintained to deter excessive exploitation of the service.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://austintexas.gov/department/austin-reblend | title = Austin ReBlend / Austin Resource Recovery / AustinTexas.gov - The Official Website of the City of Austin | accessdate = 2013-06-12}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news | title = Austin celebrates its environmental savviness for Earth Day | date = 2013-04-22 | url = http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/austin/austin-celebrates-its-environmental-savviness-for-eath-day | work = KXAN | accessdate = 2013-06-12}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://test.us.call2recycle.org/wp-content/uploads/Austin_Webinar_121511.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150910074141/http://test.us.call2recycle.org/wp-content/uploads/Austin_Webinar_121511.pdf |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2015-09-10 |title=The Lone Star State Shines : Achieving City of Austin’s Zero Waste Goal through EPR and Recycling |accessdate=2013-06-12 |last=Whipple |first=Dawn |author2=Gena McKinley |author3=Tim Warren |date=2011-12-15 |format=PDF |work=City of Austin |publisher=Call2Recycle }} 4. ^1 {{cite news | first = Asher | last = Price | title = Austin steps up distribution of reblended paint | date = 2010-12-26 | publisher = The Victoria Advocate | url = http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/2010/dec/26/bc-tx-exchange-reblended-paint/ | work = Associated Press | accessdate = 2013-06-12}} 5. ^{{cite news|first=Jeremy |last=Carroll |title=Annual report: Austin, Texas, residents are throwing away less trash |date=2012-05-07 |url=http://www.wasterecyclingnews.com/article/20120507/NEWS08/120509940/annual-report-austin-texas-residents-are-throwing-away-less-trash |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130620050552/http://www.wasterecyclingnews.com/article/20120507/NEWS08/120509940/annual-report-austin-texas-residents-are-throwing-away-less-trash |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2013-06-20 |work=Waste & Recycling News |accessdate=2013-06-12 |quote=The city also produced 8,333 gallons of Austin ReBlend paint, available to residents for free at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. }} 6. ^{{cite journal | title = Sustainability Highlights | journal = City of Austin Memorandum | date = 2012-07-26 | first = Lucia | last = Athens | url = http://content.austin.ynn.com/auscontent/SustainMemo.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 2013-06-12 | quote = Re-blended 8,333 gallons of Austin Reblend paint and reused or recycled 341,025 pounds of household hazardous waste in 2011.

However, that doesn’t mean you can come and get unlimited amounts. Abuse the privilege and you will be blacklisted. The paint is to be used for small, individual projects.
