Household Paint • Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
Household Paint
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
Like most do-it-yourself
home tasks, planning
ahead for a paint
project can save
materials and time. To avoid leftover paint,
calculate the amount of paint needed for each
project and then only buy enough paint to complete
the job. If paint is leftover after a project, consider
either using up the paint by recoating or properly
storing the container for future touch-ups.
Household hazardous waste (HHW) includes such
unwanted items as spray
paint, paint thinners,
solvents, yard chemicals,
pool chemicals, harsh
cleaners, mercury,
antifreeze and hobby
chemicals. These items are
accepted at HHW
collections sponsored by
the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (IEPA). Macon County
Environmental Management encourages residents
to take advantage of
these free collections
which are only
periodically offered
downstate.
Empty paint cans and cans containing dry paint are
to be placed in the household trash with the lid of
the can removed. Unwanted liquid paint must be
properly disposed according to it characteristics—
either latex or oil-based.
For more information
regarding HHW collections, visit the IEPA website
www.epa.illinois.gov/topics/waste-management/
waste-disposal/household-hazardous-waste/
collections/index.
Latex (water-based) paints are not considered
hazardous and may be dried out by mixing with an
absorbent such as kitty litter or sawdust. Once dry,
the paint and container may be placed in the
household trash with the lid removed. Oil-based
paints, including stains and varnishes, are not
recommended for home processing since these
products are characterized as hazardous due to
their toxicity and flammability.
As a last resort for disposal, unwanted liquid paint
in its original, labeled container may be brought to a
paint collection sponsored by Macon County
Environmental Management. Latex and oil-based
paint, which is without a label must be brought to a
HHW collection.

paint, HHW & electronics collections:
