Henderson, Nevada, has the valley’s South Valley paint drop-off right in town, at the Henderson Transfer Station on Cape Horn Drive. Republic Services takes paint there on its scheduled weeks.

Republic says the drop-offs close on all holidays. The 2026 calendar marks Thanksgiving Day closed, but not every holiday, so call 702-735-5151 before a holiday week. On North Valley weeks, the Saturday is marked for both sites, so Henderson is open those Saturdays too (next: Oct. 24 and Nov. 7).
If a South Valley week doesn’t work, Republic’s other site is North Valley at 333 W Gowan Rd in North Las Vegas (for example Oct. 21–23).

October 12, 2026: read Republic’s 2026 Southern Nevada hazardous waste calendar (rendered to read the color-coded weeks), the Henderson Transfer Station sheet, Republic’s Southern Nevada page, the City of Henderson’s Henderson Shines page and utilities page (both opened in a browser; the city site blocks scripted requests), Clark County Water Quality’s guide, the College of Southern Nevada fact sheet and NDEP’s regional listings. PaintCare’s locator lists the South Valley site as a non-program hazardous waste site. The free rule comes from PaintCare’s listing and the 2024 CSN fact sheet; Republic’s calendar names no fee. We list only the next few weeks from the calendar. Not found: whether Henderson Shines checks residency, and whether the transfer station closes on Nov. 11 and Dec. 25 (not marked on the calendar). After Oct. 17, 2026, rewrite the Henderson Shines facts in the past tense or remove them; move South Valley dates to the past as they pass.
