RECYCLING YOUR LATEX PAINT
This program has changed!!! 
Have a few opened cans of latex paint you'll never use again? Be environmentally correct and recycle them.
The City of Evanston will no longer collect latex paint at the Recycling Center, 2222 Oakton. Collections will now take place:
TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS
9 to 11 a.m. in the Visitor’s Parking lot
across the street from the
Municipal Service Center, 2020 Asbury Ave.
Collection will be staffed by City of Evanston employees. Residents should not leave paint outside of the designated collection times.
Collection is open to City of Evanston and Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) member RESIDENTS only. Proof of residency is required at drop-off.
Only latex paint that is clearly labeled will be accepted. Oil-based paint or unlabeled paint will be refused.
For more information about latex paint disposal, visit www.swancc.org, email info@swancc.org or call (847) 724-9205.
The City provides this service through the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) which is partnering with the company Earth Paints Collection Systems to provide this free service to residents in SWANCC communities like Evanston.
Earth Paints Collection Systems picks up the paint in the cans and takes them back to its facility. The paint is separated and bulked into 55 gallon drums.
The bulked paint that is reusable is reprocessed into new, useable latex paint for resale. Unusable latex paint is turned into filler product that is used in the manufacturing of concrete.
The empty steel paint cans are crushed at the Earth Paints facility and recycled locally.
