There are many resources available to safely dispose of hazardous waste materials, such as paint and pesticide containers. Most communities have hazardous waste collection events where citizens can take their containers to be professionally collected, processed, and recycled or properly discarded. Many cities also offer year-round drop off locations for hazardous waste materials. Contact your local waste management authorities or government resources (e.g., EPA) to find out how to properly dispose of these materials in your area.

If you do not have access to a hazardous waste collection program, many local government websites provide information on the disposal of these materials. Generally, containers should be dried out and removed from their original labeling before disposal. Paint should be taken to a household hazardous waste collection center or community park or recycling events for reuse as paint or stain. Pesticide containers can also usually be recycled as plastic, with some centers allowing used pesticides to also be recycled or properly disposed.
