Latex paint is recyclable as long as it has not “gone bad” or dried up. Oil-based paint is considered household hazardous waste (HHW) and is not recyclable. Some general rules to determine if your paint is recyclable or not:
- Label says latex paint or states that paint is washable with soap and water (versus mineral oil)
- Label has not faded
- Paint has been stored in a place with a stable temperature (e.g. a basement)
