In PaintCare states (those with paint stewardship programs) the PaintCare site locator lists all of the retailers and household hazardous waste facilities who have partnered with PaintCare to accept leftover paint from the public.
The site locator can help the general public in other states too, and includes a comprehensive listing of locations throughout the United States that accept leftover paint from the public.
Please contact all PaintCare drop-off sites to confirm their hours and availability before dropping off paint. For all non-PaintCare states, check the location’s website or call to confirm HHW events and facilities have not been cancelled, closed, or postponed.
