Recycling Center staff are not allowed to handle household chemicals, so don't bring paint during the center's other hours (Mondays, Fridays, the second Saturday, or other Wednesdays). Follow the recycling entrance sign to the back of the property and stay in your vehicle. Questions about items go to Noble at 412-567-6566.
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.

If you live in the city, Irwin or North Huntingdon, schedule WM's At Your Door pickup. Hempfield residents call County Hauling. Otherwise, store the paint sealed until a 1st or 3rd Wednesday.
Dry it with clay cat litter or shredded newspaper, bag it and throw it out. Save the Wednesday trip for oil-based paint, stain and thinner.
Your town isn't on Cleanways' hauler pickup list, so the Wednesday drop-off is your option. Ask your own hauler whether it added a program since the list was posted.
Recycling Center staff can't legally accept household chemicals, so you'll be turned away. Come back on the 1st or 3rd Wednesday between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Paint is taken 8 a.m.-1 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, when Noble Environmental staff are on site. Recycling Center staff are not allowed to handle household chemicals, so a Monday, Friday or second-Saturday visit won't work for paint.

Westmoreland Cleanways lists the City of Greensburg among Waste Management customers with curbside household hazardous waste pickup built into the trash contract. Call 1-800-449-7587 or go to wmatyourdoor.com to schedule; Cleanways says extra fees may apply and some items may be restricted, and it warns its list may be out of date.
Hempfield, which surrounds the city, is on the County Hauling list (724-929-7694), along with Murrysville, New Kensington, Export, Manor and Sewickley Township. Irwin, North Huntingdon, Trafford, Adamsburg and Arona use WM's service. Penn Township and Mount Pleasant Township use Republic (724-887-9400). Avonmore uses Bankosh Sanitation (724-461-4185), and Delmont uses Pro Waste (724-433-3440).
Cleanways suggests using it up, giving it to a group like a local theater, or pouring it over clay cat litter or shredded newspaper, letting it dry, bagging it and throwing it away. A paint hardener powder works too. To store paint, cover the opening with plastic wrap, close the lid and turn the can upside down.
If your town isn't on a hauler program and Wednesdays don't work, look for one-day Noble or PRC collections elsewhere in western Pennsylvania. PRC's posted 2026 list ended with October 3 in Beaver County, and Noble's remaining fall 2026 drive-thru days are in Erie, Butler, Venango and Allegheny counties, not Westmoreland. Pennsylvania has no PaintCare program, so stores don't take paint back for free. This guide covers Westmoreland County; Allegheny County options are in the Pittsburgh guide.
Pack paint in sturdy cardboard boxes with lids tight and nothing leaking. Put the boxes in the trunk or truck bed, as far from the driver as you can. Nothing over 5 gallons. Don't bring empty or dried cans; they go in the trash. Have a card ready, since Noble takes no cash.

October 16, 2026: read Westmoreland Cleanways' HHW drop-off, other HHW options, recycling center and household hazardous waste pages, WM's household hazardous waste page, Noble Environmental's drive-thru schedule (no Westmoreland County dates; remaining 2026 events are in Erie, Butler, Venango and Allegheny counties), PRC's 2026 schedule (no Westmoreland dates; all past), PA DEP pages and PaintCare locator site 14565. The hauler list comes from Cleanways, which warns it may be out of date; we did not see WM's own Greensburg terms, fees or paint limits. We did not find a City of Greensburg trash page. The 724-929-7694 County Hauling number is the same number Noble lists for its Canonsburg office. Westmoreland County towns other than those named weren't checked. Peer review (October 16, 2026) re-read every source, added the other hauler towns from the Cleanways list, and marked the empty-can rule as PaintCare-only.
Checked October 16, 2026 against these sources, not by phone. How we research.
