Overview of Product Care’s ISPs
It is the intention of PCA to maintain important elements of the existing MHSW
program operations for the ISP products in order to achieve a smooth transition,
including:
Municipal compensation: Assume all existing municipal collection site agreements
and municipal compensation models for the ISP products.
Collection, transportation and processing standards: PCA intends to adopt the
current collection, transportation and processing standards as developed by SO.
Collection System: Maintain the existing municipal and return to retail collection
systems, including municipal /service provider relationships.
Labpack methodology. PCA will continue to use the current methodology for PSF
products.
Incentive payment model (MDT&PIP) for transportation and processing of depot
collected paint will be continued and all SO approved service providers will be
carried over into the ISP system.

• Hourly rate for depot collection
• Cost sharing for commingled products (PS&F)
• Tonnage rate for event collection

• PCA takes over MHSW contract obligations for ISP products
• As a result, PCA pays municipality:
• 81.7% of hourly depot rate
• Share of commingled product costs for ISP products
• Agreed event tonnage rate for ISP products

offer electronic fund transfer payment.
