Roswell residents (proof required) may bring a maximum of 2- 5-gallon containers or 10 containers up to 1 gallon per residency, per day, of liquid latex and/or oil-based paint (not dried out or mixed with cat litter) in the original containers with the original readable label on it. Fees apply, and no leaking cans will be accepted. For more information, please call the Roswell Recycling Center at (770) 442-8822 during business hours.
To properly dispose of oil-based or latex paints that do not qualify for recycling, add kitty litter or sawdust to them before placing the cans—lid off—on the garbage container, not inside. Only empty paint cans or cans with solidified paint can be put on your garbage container for normal curbside garbage collection. Check out this video to learn more about paint disposal.
Empty spray paint cans can also be put in your garbage container for normal curbside garbage collection. Spray paint cans are not accepted at the Roswell Recycling Center. Spray paint cans with contents—paint and/or aerosol—are accepted at Roswell's Household Hazardous Waste Collection events.
