managing leftover architectural paint Currently undergoing evaluation
12 critical questions
OBJECTIVE
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
METHODS
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
METHODS

TOOL OUTPUTS
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
CONCLUSIONS
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
