Participating Waste Paint Partners

About 25% of the waste collected during the Illinois EPA's one-day Household Hazardous Waste Collections is paint. To address this large volume item the Agency has initiated the "Partners for Waste Paint Solutions" Program. These partnerships offer consumers the opportunity to deliver unwanted paint to local participating paint retailers where it will be reformulated or remixed for reuse. Unusable paint is picked up by an Agency contractor for disposal at Agency expense.

To find the location nearest you that accepts used paint, see the table below.
