Despite widespread support from business and environmental groups alike, the Senate voted Thursday to stall a bill that would create a paint recycling program in the state. House Bill 451, led by bipartisan sponsors, aims to give residents and businesses a responsible way to get rid of their cans, while also keeping paint — which can contain harmful chemicals such as PFAS — out of the state’s landfills.

The program would allow retailers to volunteer as drop-off sites for the cans, with no cost paid by residents or businesses at the time of drop-off.

In 2024, New Hampshire wildfire numbers climbed 24%, burning nearly double the acres compared to 2023, according to the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Rapidly changing weather conditions in the fall brought about the bump, said Chief Steven Sherman, head of the state’s Forest Protection Bureau. The flames threatened 37 structures and destroyed four, the department said.
