The availability of places to take your leftover paint depends upon where you live. In some states, such as California and Minnesota, there are well developed programs called Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facilities that take leftover paint (and other materials that should not go in the trash) for no charge. In other states there may be few, if any, places that will accept your waste paint for recycling or disposal.

For information on where you can take leftover paint, try contacting your local county government, go to http://earth911.org/ or call 1-800-CLEAN-UP.

Please note that most Household Hazardous Waste programs do not accept paint from businesses. However, Amazon will accept non-hazardous water based paints and some chemically similar wastes from businesses for recycling. Please contact us for fees and further information.
