CONVENIENCE ANALYSIS OF THE OREGON PAINT MANAGEMENT PILOT PROGRAM Hedrick Strickland Advised by Dr. Lynn Maguire and Matt Keene, US EPA

 64 million gallons (10%) of the architectural paint purchased in the US is left over  largest component of household hazardous waste (HHW) collection programs  half a billion dollars per year

 Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) dialogue  200 participants since December 2003  reduce the generation of leftover paint  increase reuse and recycling opportunities  Oregon’s Paint Product Stewardship Law  passed summer of 2009, implemented July 2010  first manufacturer-financed program for managing leftover architectural paint  Currently undergoing evaluation  12 critical questions

 Determine how convenient the drop-off locations are for Oregon residents based on  travel time to access a drop-off facility,  travel distance to access a drop-off facility  Statewide  Countywide  Develop a tool to aid in selection of potential locations

Locations active as of January 24, 2011  Created service areas  5, 10, and 15 miles  5, 10, and 20 minutes  Estimated the population within each service areas

-10 miles of roads -6 miles within the service area -Population = 200 SO: -120 people within service area

 Site Selection and Convenience Analysis tool 1. Location-allocation process 2. My convenience analysis

 Time based service areas  Population distribution  Old population data

 Recommended potential locations  single site  a specific number of sites  as many sites as are required to bring a given percentage of the population within a specified time or distance  Summary tables  statewide  county level

 High convenience statewide, lacking in some areas  The most underserved residents include those living in Gilliam, Douglas, Polk, and Lincoln counties  Site Selection and Convenience Analysis tool can help ensure that future programs achieve high convenience with limited facilities.

 Plan yearly collection event in Gilliam county  Establish collection sites in Polk, Douglas, and Lincoln counties if funds become available  If and when potential sites are chosen, use tool to select the most beneficial ones or to guide the order of activation.
