Gather all the paint you no longer need.
Identify a local paint-recycling center by contacting your county or city recycling coordinator or by searching "paint recycling" online. Inquire about which types of paints are accepted in the program.
Take your remaining paint to the recycling center or schedule a pick-up if the option is available in your area.
Inquire about recycling your old steel paint cans; many recycling centers also recycle paint cans.
