Which option fits your Binghamton cleanout?3
You only have liquid latex and oil paint
Use regular landfill paint hours or the store for a small load. Oil-based paint doesn’t have to wait for a free event. Call the landfill about odd amounts or bad cans.
Your trunk also has thinner or driveway chemicals
Now hazardous waste rules apply. Compare the free dates with the county’s off-day household fee, and give your residence when calling. Paint stays under its own free rule.
You need a Saturday trip from central Binghamton
Lewis Street closes at noon with a 5-gallon cap; landfill paint drop-off ends at 11:45 a.m. The Vestal store on the county list stays open later Saturday, but call about paint space first.
Binghamton rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Broome County takes household latex and oil paint free during regular landfill hours at 286 Knapp Road. For a small downtown load, the Lewis Street Sherwin-Williams is on the county list, with a 5-gallon cap.
Binghamton has a regular county paint drop-off and a shorter-hours downtown store. The question is whether you have only paint or other chemicals too.
Paint needn’t wait for a free event day
The county takes latex and oil paint free during regular landfill hours. The hazardous waste calendar’s other hours and off-day fee are for other chemicals, not paint.
Pick by load size, not just distance
Lewis Street suits up to 5 gallons. Knapp Road handles more, but the county posts no gallon limit, so call first for a big load. Solvents and other chemicals need a hazardous waste check.
Free pickup programs and other options
The county also lists Sherwin-Williams, 3800 Vestal Parkway East, 607-797-3582, open weekends; call about space first. Free hazardous waste dates include October 7 and 17, 2026, 7:30–11:30 a.m., for household loads. Businesses need a separate county service or PaintCare if they qualify.
Getting your paint ready
Don’t dry out usable liquid paint for the county drop-off. Keep cans closed and labeled. List thinner and other chemicals separately so staff can send you to the right line.
Full preparation checklist →Binghamton questions3
Do I owe $5 to bring paint on a weekday?
No. The county says household latex and oil paint are free during regular landfill hours. The $5 fee covers other hazardous waste outside free events.
Will Lewis Street take ten gallons?
The county lists 5 gallons there. Ask about another place; don’t assume two trips or two people get around it.
Can my business unload at a free household event?
No. Contact the county about business options; PaintCare also has business options for house paint.
Sources and how we checked8
Paint rules were checked apart from the hazardous waste calendar to avoid a wrong $5 paint fee. Large-load limits and business prices are unconfirmed. The county site and flyer disagree on one outlying store’s limit, so we skip it.
Checked October 4, 2026 against these sources, not by phone. How we research.
