Paint Recycling/Reuse

DISPOAL OF HOUSEHOLD PAINT
First you will need to determine if the paint you’re getting rid of is Latex Paint or Oil Base Paint.

LATEX PAINT or acrylic paints are fast-drying water-based paints. To dispose of latex paints open the lids and allow the paint to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of dry paint cans at the curbside with your regular garbage pick-up. Paint must be completely dry in order for them to be picked up at curbside.

OIL BASED PAINT is a slow drying paint made with oil. Oil based paints cannot be disposed of at curbside. Consider using up theremainder of the oil based paint for projects around your house, or check with neighbors who might need it for their projects or crafts. If the pain can is full or un-opened, please consider donating it to a painting program or re-sale shops in your area. Oil Based Paints can be disposed of at Household Hazardous Materials (HHM) Collection events.

No Household Hazardous Waste Collections scheduled at this time.

SPRAY PAINT
If possible, use up all the material in the spray can. Empty aerosol cans are treated like any other type of steel or aluminum can. Most communities allow disposal of empty aerosol cans in their curbside bin, however it’s always best to check with your city or township first. Aerosol cans must be completely empty (i.e., no product or propellant remains in can) before they can be disposed of in the trash.

Fluorescent Lightbulbs

Please check with each location for drop off dates, times and restrictions.    

The Right Way to Recycle Light bulbs
The typical American home has between 50 and100 light bulb sockets. That means the typical American goes through a lot of light bulbs every year. When a light bulb burns out in your home, you have several choices for replacing it. There are old-fashioned incandescent bulbs and more modern ones like compact fluorescents and LEDs. How you recycle your old,burned-out light bulbs depends on its type. Unfortunately there are no programs to recycle incandescent bulbs. On the other hand, you are legally required to recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs in several states.
