Do you need half a bottle of degreaser for one-time use? 
Maybe a few pints or a half-gallon of paint to refurbish a table? 
How about a half a bag of plant fertilizer for that one corner of the yard?

Don't waste money on full-size products at the store when you only need a little! Instead of buying bulky new products, Elk Grove residents can come to the Special Waste Collection Center’s Reuse Room and find a wide variety of new or partially used products. When we collect products that are in good condition and reusable, our technicians will place them in the Reuse Room where Elk Grove residents can take them home free of charge (up to 10 items per month per household). 

Typical Household Items available for reuse may include:

• Paint and wood stain
• Cleaners
• Solvents
• Home Improvement (grout, sealant, etc.)
• Lawn and Garden Care
• Pool Supplies
• Wood Working Supplies

How much paint do I need?

Paint estimator:

• Multiply the length of each wall times its width to find the area. 
  • Example: 10' x 15' = 150 square feet
• Divide that number by 350 (the estimated square feet covered per gallon) to figure out how many gallons of paint you need.
  • Example: 150 ÷ 350 = 0.43 gallons (approx. - 1/2 gallon of paint).
