Las Vegas Hazardous Waste Disposal Guide – Safe Drop-Off Locations for Paint, Chemicals & Toxic Household Waste
If you have old paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, gasoline, automotive fluids, batteries, or other hazardous household waste, do not pour them down a drain, into the gutter, or place them in curbside recycling. Many common household chemicals need special handling to protect local stormwater systems, groundwater, and public health.
Important: Some materials have special disposal exceptions. For example, fully dried or solidified latex paint can usually go in the regular trash, and small quantities of single-use alkaline batteries may go in the regular trash—but not in curbside recycling. When in doubt, check the official guidance below or call ahead.
This guide covers the official household hazardous waste options most commonly used by residents in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and nearby Clark County communities.

Which Site Should You Use?
Use the official 2026 calendar first. The program rotates between the North Valley and South Valley sites, so the closest location is only helpful if that site is the one open on the day you plan to go.
If both locations work for your drive, use the site shown as open on the official calendar for your chosen date.
Boulder City residents: current official guidance points Boulder City residents to Boulder City’s own household hazardous waste option, rather than the Republic Las Vegas/Henderson rotating calendar.
Fees, Eligibility, and Quantity Limits
The household hazardous waste program is for household waste only. It is not intended for commercial or business waste streams.
- Household waste only
- Limit 40 pounds dry or 15 gallons liquid, measured by container size
- Gasoline limit: 5 gallons
- Bring items in structurally sound, sealed containers
- Republic residential trash customers are generally not charged a fee, but you should bring a copy of your most recent Republic residential bill and valid photo identification and confirm current eligibility before you go
- Businesses should use licensed commercial hazardous waste services
Items Commonly Accepted for Household Hazardous Waste Disposal
Current local guidance commonly lists the following items for the HHW program:
- Paint
- Flammable liquids
- Pool chemicals
- Oil or gasoline
- Aerosol cans
- Batteries
- Drain and oven cleaners
- Pesticides and fertilizer
- Adhesives
Tip: Quantity limits and container requirements can apply, so call ahead if you are bringing a larger amount or an unusual item.
Paint, Batteries, and Other Common Disposal Questions
Oil-based paint, paint thinner, and solvents: These should go through the household hazardous waste program.
Latex paint: If it is fully dried or solidified, local guidance says it can usually go in the regular trash. If it is still liquid, check the HHW guidance before disposing of it.
Single-use alkaline batteries: Small quantities may go in the regular trash, but never in curbside recycling. Many batteries can also be recycled through approved drop-off programs.
Items That Need a Call First
If the material is unusual, leaking, unlabeled, damaged, or not shown on the official accepted-items list, contact Republic Services or the Southern Nevada Health District before heading out.
Southern Nevada Health District: (702) 759-0600
Other Local Recycling Options
Some items may be easier to recycle closer to home:
Used Motor Oil and Antifreeze
- Pep Boys
- Other auto-parts retailers may also accept used oil
Batteries and Certain Light Bulbs
- Select Home Depot locations
- Select Lowe’s locations
Always call ahead to confirm current store policies, accepted materials, and any quantity limits.
Safety Tips When Transporting Hazardous Waste
- Keep materials in original containers when possible
- Do not mix chemicals together
- Seal containers tightly
- Transport containers upright in a box or plastic bin
- Place chemicals in a trunk or truck bed when possible
These steps help reduce the risk of leaks, spills, and dangerous chemical reactions during transport.
