At-Your-Door mails a kit first and sets the collection date once you schedule, so call 1-800-449-7587 early. Dry any leftover latex with the lid off and put it in the gray cart. Oil-based paint has no cart option, so it has to wait for the pickup.
The Waste Wizard sends spray paint and solvents to household hazardous waste collection only. Add them to your At-Your-Door booking; the city’s list includes aerosols and solvents.
Book the bulky pickup for the furniture at 361-485-3220, but leave paint out of the pile. The city says hazardous waste can’t go as a bulky item. Book At-Your-Door separately for the paint.

Call 1-800-449-7587 to book an At-Your-Door pickup; Waste Management mails you a kit, then a truck collects the paint from your doorstep on the date you agree. It takes oil-based and latex paint, spray paint and solvents, and you can book as many times as you need. For latex only, the city’s Waste Wizard says the can can go in your gray trash cart once the lid is off and the paint is dry.
Victoria, Texas picks up household paint at your door. The city pays Waste Management to run At-Your-Door Special Waste Collection, which takes oil-based and latex paint all year by appointment at 1-800-449-7587. TCEQ lists the program under Victoria County, serving the City of Victoria. Texas has no PaintCare program, so paint stores don’t take paint back.
When you call 1-800-449-7587, the operator asks for your address and the type and amount of what you have. A household hazardous waste kit is mailed to you to pack your items. A truck then picks them up from your doorstep on the agreed date. The city says the service runs all year, as often as you need it. PaintCare’s non-program listing adds that collections are Monday through Friday.
The Waste Wizard’s first choice for full or partly full latex is At-Your-Door pickup. Its other option is the gray trash cart, but only “if the lid is removed and the paint is dry.” Empty paint cans go in the gray cart. Oil-based paint, spray paint and solvents have no cart option; they go to At-Your-Door. The garbage page says no hazardous waste in gray carts, and the cart lid must close completely.
Residents get two free bulky pickups a year of up to 6 cubic yards each, booked online or at 361-485-3220.

The city says hazardous waste may not be collected as a bulky item.

City pages list Environmental Services at 700 Main Center, Suite 124, and the Solid Waste contact box lists 702 N. Main, Suite 124.

Texas has no PaintCare program. PaintCare’s locator data has one non-program listing for Victoria, and it is this At-Your-Door service. Golden Crescent Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is at 4103 N. Navarro, Suite 100 ((361) 570-4700); its Habitat listing doesn’t mention paint, so call before you donate. TCEQ suggests giving usable paint to friends, relatives or neighbors. The city landfill on FM 1686 in Bloomington takes extra items from City and County residents, but the city publishes no paint rules for it.
Before you call, list each product and roughly how much you have, because the operator will ask. Keep paint in its original can with a readable label, and don’t mix products, TCEQ says. PaintCare’s non-program listing says empty, dry or leaking containers aren’t taken, so empty and dried cans go to the gray cart instead. To keep paint fresh, cover the opening with plastic wrap, press the lid on and store it upside down.
