How do I dispose of paint?


If you must dispose of unwanted leftover paint, be sure to do so in an environmentally safe manner. The Product Care Association has established depots in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan & New Brunswick to take back leftover household paint, varnish, shellacs and stains free of charge. When returning leftover paint, be sure to keep products in their original containers with labels on. Do not combine leftover paints with each other or with oils, solvents or other products. Make sure paint cans are properly sealed before transporting.
