Hope Petrie of Collbran, hazardous materials manager at the Mesa County Landfill, pries the lid off of one of dozens of cans of paint brought to the facility for disposal on Friday, Aug. 25, 2017, in Grand Junction, Colo. Through an innovative recycling technique, the waste latex paint is mixed with slurry and used to cover trash in the landfill. State regulations require the landfill to cover its garbage daily, which previously was done with a six-inch covering of soil. The paint and slurry mixture saves the landfill more than $1 million per year, according to the landfill's regulatory compliance manager Jennifer Richardson.
