Latex Paint Disposal
Latex paint is not accepted at the Naperville Hazardous Waste Drop -Off Facility.
Latex paint can be disposed of in your regular garbage if properly prepared. First allow the paint to thoroughly dry. Ideally, the paint should be transferred to plastic bags so the rinsed empty paint containers can be recycled. The paint may be air dried, but adding cat litter, oil dry, sawdust or another absorbent material will greatly speed this process. Once dry, the paint may be disposed of with your house refuse. If you let the paint dry in its original container, be sure to leave the lid off so the waste collection driver can see the paint has been dried.
The Woodridge Kin-Ko Ace Hardware located at 8625 Woodward Ave. accepts latex paint year round. Drop off fees based on the size of the paint container are charged, so be sure to call Ace at (630) 985-0023 for the fee schedule.
Free Latex Paint for Pick Up
DuPage residents and businesses can pick up free 5 gallon buckets of latex paint. The paint colors vary, you pick from what they have. Stop by the DuPage County Wastewater Treatment Facility in Woodridge.
