The 2020 Paint Recycling Program will operate at the Transfer Station during the same dates and times. All paint and paint-related materials (except spray paints) incur a $2 per gallon container fee, regardless of the amount within. Dried or solid paints are not accepted.

The Solid Waste Division hosts the HHW events annually for the citizens of Henderson County to provide safe recycling and disposal of household chemicals, cleaners, pesticides, and insecticides. We cannot accept mercury-containing bulbs or related items during this event, but they can be recycled at the Convenience Center for free Monday-Friday ONLY from residences.
