Fort Lauderdale's June event page said its residents must register and visitors from partner cities were encouraged to; sign-up closed at noon the day before. As of Oct. 15, 2026, Fort Lauderdale had not posted a Nov. 21 event page, so check its event calendar for the sign-up.

Tamarac says dates and places can change without notice. Call 954-597-3750 the week before.
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.

Drive to Community Park, 1660 NE 10th St., between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Keep the cans in the trunk, show your license, and stay in the car while staff unload.
Plan on Fort Lauderdale's Nov. 21 event at Mills Pond Park, 2201 NW 9th Ave. Its sign-up page was not posted yet on Oct. 15, so check Fort Lauderdale's event calendar and register before the deadline. Bring a license, tax bill, TRIM notice or utility bill that shows your Pompano address. If you miss it, Tamarac's Dec. 5 event is the last one this year.
It is close, but it won't take Pompano residents' paint. Save the cans for a partner-city event instead.
Paint, stain, thinner, pool chemicals, propane tanks and motor oil can all go to the same event. Leave out medical waste, explosives and appliances. Keep each product in its own labeled container.
Bring paint to the Pompano Beach collection on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Community Park, 1660 NE 10th St., with your driver's license. After that, the 2026 partner events are Fort Lauderdale's Mills Pond Park on Nov. 21 (register first) and Tamarac on Dec. 5. Don't take it to the Broward County center on Powerline Road; the city says it no longer takes Pompano residents' hazardous waste.
Paint in Pompano Beach, Florida, goes to the city's household hazardous waste events, not to a Broward County drop-off center. Pompano Beach shares a 13-event schedule with six other north Broward cities. Pompano residents can drop paint free at any of them, with proof that they live in the city.
Broward County's North drop-off center is in Pompano Beach, at 2780 N. Powerline Road. But the city says hazardous waste from Pompano Beach residents is "no longer accepted" at the county site "located North of Copans Road at Powerline Road." PaintCare's listing names 15 areas that center serves, such as Margate, Lighthouse Point and Oakland Park. Pompano Beach is not one of them.
Pompano Beach hosts three of the 13 partner events a year at Community Park, 1660 NE 10th St. In 2026 the April 11 and July 18 events have passed; Oct. 17 is the last one at home this year. Fort Lauderdale lists the spot as the Northside Baseball Complex.
With proof of residency, Pompano residents can use events in Fort Lauderdale, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Lauderdale Lakes and Tamarac. Coconut Creek and Coral Springs have no more 2026 dates. Fort Lauderdale (Nov. 21) and Tamarac (Dec. 5) are left.
Coconut Creek's page says everyone using the Fort Lauderdale event must register first. Fort Lauderdale's June event page said visitors from partner cities were encouraged to register, and sign-up closed at noon the day before. As of Oct. 15, Fort Lauderdale had not posted its Nov. 21 page. Watch its event calendar and register early.
The city's bulk pickup does not take hazardous waste, and its brochure says not to put hazardous waste in your garbage or with bulk waste. The Saturday drop-off at 1840 NW 33rd St. is for bulk waste, not paint. Hold paint for an event.
Florida has no PaintCare program, so paint stores don't take old paint back. Unlike Miami-Dade, which has permanent drop-off centers, north Broward cities share one roving schedule. Pompano residents can use any event hosted by Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Lauderdale Lakes or Tamarac. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea residents are also part of the partnership. Businesses must hire a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Usable paint can go to a neighbor, church or community group.
Keep paint in closed, labeled cans of 5 gallons or less. PaintCare's listing says 25 gallons per visit. Load everything in the trunk or truck bed, not the back seat, because you stay in your car and staff unload it. Bring a driver's license with your Pompano Beach address, or a utility bill.
Full preparation checklist →Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Community Park, 1660 NE 10th St. It is the last Pompano Beach event of 2026.
No. The city says Pompano residents' hazardous waste is no longer accepted at the county site north of Copans Road at Powerline Road.
Use a partner city's event: Fort Lauderdale's Mills Pond Park, 2201 NW 9th Ave., on Nov. 21 (register first), or Tamarac, 6011 Nob Hill Rd., on Dec. 5. Bring proof of residency.
Yes. The city's list includes paint, aerosol products, wood stain, wood stripper, turpentine and solvents. Fort Lauderdale's and Coconut Creek's lists name both oil and latex paint.
No. The events are for residents only. The city says businesses must hire a licensed hazardous waste hauler.
Checked October 15, 2026: the City of Pompano Beach household hazardous waste page (2026 schedule; Broward County site no longer takes Pompano residents), the 2026 HHW brochure PDF (accepted items, business rule, Republic Services contact), the bulk waste page and the city's blog on paint cans; Fort Lauderdale's event pages and HHW page; Coconut Creek's 2026 schedule and registration rule; Tamarac's event page; Florida DEP; and PaintCare's locator data. Broward County's own HHW pages would not load, so the county center's rules come from PaintCare's listing. Unresolved: Fort Lauderdale event hours (Pompano's page and brochure say 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Coconut Creek, Tamarac, PaintCare and Fort Lauderdale's June page say 2 p.m.); Fort Lauderdale had not posted a Nov. 21 event page or sign-up as of Oct. 15; whether visitors must register for Fort Lauderdale (Coconut Creek says everyone, Fort Lauderdale says residents must and visitors are encouraged); the 5-gallon container and 25-gallon visit limits come from PaintCare's listing, not a city page. Pompano's page and brochure swap the March 7 and March 21 hosts; both dates have passed. No 2027 schedule was published yet. We found no paint reuse program in Pompano Beach.
