Paint

Latex and oil-based. Dry latex with kitty litter, then trash. Oil-based is hazardous — HHW only. Pickup services for big jobs.

Our method

Checked against the source, and dated.

1 · We compile

Facility names, addresses, hours, fees, and accepted materials sourced from municipal HHW programs, certified recyclers, and retail take-back partners.

2 · We check

Every listing is confirmed against the operator's own published information and the governing municipal program before it goes up, and carries the date it was checked. Where that date has aged, the listing says so rather than letting you assume otherwise. Errors are corrected within 48 hours.

3 · We publish

Plain pages with cost, hours, and pickup at the top — no log-ins, no popups, no ratings game. Just where to take it.
