For those considering a home improvement project and wanting to cut costs, the City of Lawrence is distributing free paint, cleaning supplies and other items through its Product Reuse Program.

The city has an overabundance of products in good condition, including a variety of colors of Latex paint in five-gallon, gallon and quart containers.

The household, automotive and home improvement supplies are available to all residents of Douglas County. To set up an appointment to look over the items, contact the waste reduction and recycling division at 832-3030. Distribution is done on a first come, first serve basis.
