New Paint Recycling Program with 13 Local Drop-Off Locations

Kane County residents now have more options to recycle paint and home coatings, thanks to a new program offering 13 retail drop-off sites in and near the county. The program accepts all types of house paint, including latex and oil,  so homeowners don't need to separate their materials. In addition, the sites take wood stains, floor coatings and sealants/resins.

There is no fee to drop off materials, but a quantity limit of five gallons per visit applies, with one visit per household per day. Commercial painters and businesses are welcome to use the drop-offs, following the same limits. For larger volumes—over 100 gallons, participants can arrange a special large-volume pickup​.
