Empty paint cans or cans with hardened paint can be placed in the garbage but first, remove all covers. Yolo County residents can bring latex paint for a convenience
fee (PDF) to the YCCL during normal operating hours. All latex paint must be sealed, must not be leaking, must have original labels and be easily identifiable as latex paint. All other paints, stains, etc., must be brought to the
Household Hazardous Waste Events (free of charge for residents). For more information see "Paint" on the
A-Z Waste Acceptability page.
