Heating Oil Oregon HEAT will work with homeowners who need to dispose of heating oil--they will work to have the tank pumped by a DEQ-approved oil recycler, and send a letter for their charitable donation which homeowners can use for tax purposes. Oil is donated to a local low-income family to help them stay warm in the winter. Questions? E-mail Roger Anderson (roger.anderson@oregonheat.org), Oil Program Director, or call him at 503-612-6304. |

Quality batches of leftover latex are then turned into MetroPaint, available in 1-gallon cans and 5-gallon pails for about $11 or less a gallon at Miller Paint stores, MetroPaint Swan Island store and independent retailers in Oregon and Washington. |
