3730 White Lake Blvd., Naples, FL 34117
The county's drop-off page gives the address as 3730 White Lake Blvd.; its Sept. 2025 guidebook and PaintCare's listing say 3728. Both point to the landfill off Collier Blvd. (CR 951), north of the I-75 overpass. Follow the signs for the hazardous materials area once on site.
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.

Corporate Flight Drive, by the Naples airport, is the county center closest to downtown. Go Tuesday to Saturday. It is free up to 200 pounds of paint a day.
Use North Collier, 9950 Goodlette-Frank Rd. N., or Northeast, 825 39th Ave. NE, next to the fairgrounds. Both take paint Monday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Weigh the boxes at home. If the total is over 200 pounds, bring part one day and the rest the next to stay free. Otherwise you pay $1.00 a pound for the extra.
Commercial paint costs $1.00 a pound at the drop-off centers. For thinners, solvents and other hazardous waste, very small businesses book an appointment at 239-252-8480.
Take paint to the Naples Recycling Drop-Off Center, 2640 Corporate Flight Dr., Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is free for Collier County households up to 200 pounds a day, oil-based or latex; above that it is $1.00 a pound. North Naples residents can use 9950 Goodlette-Frank Rd. N. instead.
Naples, Florida, has one of the easiest paint setups in the state. Collier County takes oil-based and latex paint free, up to 200 pounds a day, at its recycling drop-off centers and at the hazardous materials center by the landfill. The City of Naples collects your trash. For drop-off items such as electronics, it points you to the county center on Corporate Flight Drive.
Collier's limit is by weight, not gallons: 200 pounds of paint and stain a day, free. Over that, the county charges $1.00 a pound. If you have a big load, weigh a full box on a bathroom scale and split it across two days.
Collier County lists all drop-off centers as open Monday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The City of Naples lists the Corporate Flight Drive center as Tuesday to Saturday. If Monday is your only day, call 239-252-2380 first.
The same rules apply at North Collier (Goodlette-Frank Rd.), Northeast (825 39th Ave. NE, next to the fairgrounds), Marco Island (990 Chalmer Dr.), the Immokalee Transfer Station (700 Stockade Rd.), and the hazardous materials center at the landfill on White Lake Blvd. Carnestown, 31201 Tamiami Trail E., opens only the second Saturday of each month, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The City of Naples bans hazardous or liquid waste from business carts and dumpsters. Its rules for home trash don't mention paint. Either way, the county centers take liquid paint free, so that is the place for it.
Businesses that make less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste a month can use the county's Hazardous Materials Collection Center at the landfill, by appointment, at the county's contracted rate. Call 239-252-8480 or email recycling@collier.gov. Commercial paint at the drop-off centers is $1.00 a pound.
Florida has no PaintCare program, so paint stores don't take paint back. Collier County is your option. Unlike Lee County to the north, where Fort Myers residents use one main site, Collier spreads free paint drop-off over seven sites that serve Naples, North Naples, Marco Island, Immokalee, Carnestown and the area around the fairgrounds. Usable paint can also go to a neighbor, church or community group.
Shake each can. If it still sloshes, bring it; PaintCare's listing says the centers won't take empty, dry or leaking cans. Keep lids tight and labels on, and stand the cans in a box. For a large load, weigh a box on a bathroom scale so you know if you are near the free 200-pound daily limit.
Full preparation checklist →Yes, for households, up to 200 pounds of paint and stain a day. Over that it is $1.00 a pound.

The county drop-off page says 3730 White Lake Blvd.; the county guidebook and PaintCare say 3728. Both are the landfill site off Collier Blvd. north of I-75.
Checked October 13, 2026: Collier County's drop-off centers page (locations, hours, rates effective Oct. 1, 2026 to Sept. 30, 2027: oil and latex paint free to 200 lbs a day, $1.00 a pound after; VSQG appointment line), the county's Sept. 2025 solid waste guidebook (facility hours, customer service 239-252-2380), the City of Naples Solid Waste Division page (no hazardous or liquid waste in commercial carts and dumpsters; Tuesday-to-Saturday hours for Corporate Flight Drive, 239-252-8735, given for electronics drop-off), Florida DEP and PaintCare's locator data. Unresolved: Monday hours at Corporate Flight Drive (county and city differ); the hazardous materials center address (3730 on the county page, 3728 in the guidebook and PaintCare listing); what proof of residency staff check. The county's Sept. 2026 reuse directory lists Recycling Drop-Off Centers and a Sherwin-Williams phone number under "Paint" without saying what the store does, so we don't send readers there. The "no empty, dry or leaking cans" rule comes from PaintCare's listing. No household collection events were found. Peer review (Oct. 13): the county's page gives no per-center list and does not state a residency rule; PaintCare's Collier listings do not include the Northeast center, though the county rate table covers its drop-off centers generally.
