Paint Disposal

Oil-based paints and stain, spray paint, and other toxins such as pesticides, fertilizers, cleaners and more are accepted through the Waste Commission of Scott County's Household Hazardous Material Facility. Residents of both Scott County, Iowa and Rock Island County, Illinois can dispose of these items free of charge.

For more information, visit our household hazardous materials page. Watch the video below to see what to do once you arrive at the Recycling Campus. 

Latex paint can be safely disposed of at home if you dry it out first. The process is simple:

1. Take the lid off

2. Let it dry out

3. Throw it away once it is no longer liquid
