We couldn’t tell which fee is current, so call 479-249-4558 or ask when you arrive, and bring cash or a check in case a fee is charged. Keep each item in its labeled can. Arkansas DEQ still lists this site under the Springdale Street Department with an 888 number; use the 479-249-4558 number the city gives. PaintCare runs no program in Arkansas; its online locator still lists some Arkansas household hazardous waste sites for information, and those listings come from the local program, not from PaintCare.

Loads must be tied down or covered; the district charges $20 for an unsecured load. Arkansas DEQ lists older hours (to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and to noon Saturday); use the district’s own hours. Text TRASH through the QR code on the district’s home page to get closure alerts.
Your state doesn’t have a PaintCare program, so stores here don’t take paint for free. These are the public drop-off programs PaintCare’s map lists, closest first. Most only serve their own residents and some charge a fee. Call before you go.

The city’s page names Springdale residents along with Washington and Madison County residents, so a Springdale address should work at Lowell Road; call 479-249-4558 if you want to be sure. The Benton County district’s sites are another option; PaintCare’s locator lists them for Benton County households only.
Pull it out before the crew comes. Springdale’s bulky waste rules say free liquids such as paint aren’t allowed, and the crew won’t take anything until they’re removed.

It’s for residents of Springdale and Washington and Madison counties. The city’s price list says $1 a can for oil-based paint and $2 for latex, but other city and district pages say oil-based is free or latex is $2 a gallon, so call 479-249-4558 to ask.

The district’s Bond Road site in Prairie Grove also takes latex, and has a free self-service latex station.
Springdale’s drop-off is one of only two Boston Mountain sites that take latex; the Fayetteville trailer and the Madison County sites don’t. Bring latex and oil-based paint together on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

Springdale’s bulky waste crew won’t take free liquids such as paint. If they’re in the pile, nothing gets picked up until you remove them.
Arkansas has no PaintCare program, so paint stores in Springdale don’t take paint back. The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District serves Washington and Madison counties. Its hazardous waste sites are in Springdale, Prairie Grove, Fayetteville, Huntsville and St. Paul, and it runs rural recycling drop-offs in Goshen, Elkins and Winslow. Fayetteville’s trailer at S. Happy Hollow Road and 15th Street takes oil-based paint free on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but no latex, and the city says it’s for residents. Springdale reaches into Benton County. The Benton County district runs its own sites, covered in our Bentonville guide; PaintCare’s locator lists them for Benton County households only.
Separate latex from oil-based and spray paint and count the cans; stop at 20 per day. Keep labels on and lids tight. To trash latex, the district says to let a small amount dry with the lid off, or stir in kitty litter or sawdust, let it sit at least an hour until dry, and put it in the trash. Bring cash or a check.

It isn’t clear. The city’s list says $1 a can for oil-based paint, $2 a can for latex and nothing for spray paint. The Boston Mountain district says latex is $2 a gallon, a city FAQ says oil-based paint is free, and the top of the city’s page says the service is free for local residents.

Yes. The district’s Bond Road site in Prairie Grove has a free self-service latex station. You can also dry latex at home with kitty litter or sawdust and put it in the trash.
Not in one day. The city limits paint to 20 cans per day per home address.
PaintCare’s locator lists the site for households only, no businesses, and the district takes home-sized amounts only. A business needs a private hazardous waste company.
Checked October 16, 2026: the City of Springdale’s household recycling and hazardous disposal page, recycling program page (FAQ on tires and paint) and bulky waste page; the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District’s household hazardous waste, solid waste disposal, home, events and district info pages; Fayetteville’s household hazardous waste page; the Encyclopedia of Arkansas entry for Springdale; Arkansas DEQ’s center list; and PaintCare’s locator data (PaintCare lists some non-program Arkansas sites for information only). The city pages needed a browser to load. Conflicts: the city’s price list ($1 oil, $2 latex per can), its FAQ (oil-based free), its page header (free for local residents) and the district ($2 a gallon for latex) don’t match. ADEQ still lists the site under the Springdale Street Department with an 888 number and lists older Bond Road hours, plus a Washington County office on Brink Drive in Fayetteville that the district no longer lists. The district’s events page showed no events. Peer review (October 16, 2026) re-read every source, removed advice to expect the higher fee, and noted that the city’s “Residents Only” heading doesn’t itself say which residents. Unresolved: which fee is current, whether the Lowell Road site checks ID, and Springdale’s own rule for dried latex in curbside trash (we used the district’s).
Checked October 16, 2026 against these sources, not by phone. How we research.
