How to dispose of Paint (Latex & Oil-Based) in Texas

Texas rules

Check with your city's household hazardous waste collection events.

General steps

1. Determine if it's latex (water-based) or oil-based paint.
2. Latex paint: Use accepted paint recycling where available. Dry it for household trash only if your local waste agency explicitly allows this; never trash liquid paint.
3. Oil-based paint: Never pour down drains. Take to a hazardous waste facility.
4. If usable, donate to community organizations, theaters, or Habitat for Humanity ReStores.
