Oklahoma has no PaintCare program, and PaintCare’s locator data has no non-program listings in Enid. Oklahoma DEQ’s household hazardous waste sheet lists four facilities: Norman, Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Midwest City. DEQ says they are free with proof of residency and take items from surrounding communities for a small fee. Oklahoma City’s own page names the outside towns it serves (The Village, Yukon, Edmond, Moore and others), and Enid isn’t one of them. So call OKC at 405-682-7038 before driving down. The city’s 2026 notice also points people to Oklahoma DEQ for hazardous waste disposal questions.
Oklahoma DEQ says to keep products in their original containers and not mix them, and to handle even empty containers with care. Bring your current City of Enid utility bill and keep each landfill trip to 10 gallons of paint or less. Secure the load so nothing can leak or blow out; unsecured loads pay a $20 surcharge and all loads can be inspected. Tailgates must be shut before you drive on landfill roads.

October 17, 2026: enid.org blocks scripted downloads, so its pages were read in the in-app browser (one tab, closed afterward): the Solid Waste page with its Landfill, Residents, Commercial and Recycling Center tabs, the Recycle Center and Environmental Compliance pages, the April 24, 2026 collection notice and the May 2, 2026 event listing. The "Solid Waste Guide (PDF)" is an image file; it was viewed, not clicked, in that tab. Also read the Enid News & Eagle’s May 2023 story, Oklahoma DEQ’s household hazardous waste sheet and the Oklahoma City collection center page. PaintCare’s locator data has no Enid records. Unresolved: why the landfill lists hazardous waste as not accepted while offering household hazardous waste trips; whether latex is taken on those trips; whether dried latex may go in poly carts; the 2027 collection date; staff phone numbers differ between the website and printed guide. The City Code Section 8-4-1 text couldn’t be opened. We made no phone calls.
