Nothing but latex paint.
If you've got a garage floor full of half-used latex paint cans, here's your chance to properly dispose of them.

We will be accepting any and all cans of latex paint at no cost. Indoor paint. Outdoor paint. Big cans, small cans, bright colors, pastel shades—any latex paint you've used around the house. (Sorry, this event is not open to businesses or commercial painters. No 55-gallon drums please!)

No oil-based paints, no empty cans.
Most latex paints will have words like "latex," "water-based," or "water clean-up" on the label.

Oil-based paints will be marked with words such as "flammable" or "combustible" on the label. Because of their hazardous nature, oil-based paints will be accepted at our Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off event.

Also, if you have paint cans that are empty or the paint has completely dried, you can throw them in with your regular trash. There's no need to make a special trip to dispose of empty cans.

Find what you need at the latex paint reuse table.
Looking for a mostly-full gallon of white paint? Maybe a pint or two of boysenberry semi-gloss? If you're getting rid of cans of paint that are more than half full and in good shape, bring them to our special latex paint table. While you're there, see if there's something you want. If there is, it's yours—free!
