From PaintCare’s drop-off map ↗, updated October 6, 2026. Hours and limits are PaintCare’s. Distances are straight-line, not driving.
Take oil-based paint and thinner to the transfer station on 1400 W, Monday through Saturday. For leftover latex, ask the city whether you can dry it with sawdust or kitty litter and trash it; that tip comes from PaintCare’s listing, not the city.
PaintCare’s listing caps households at 20 gallons of any one item; the city doesn’t publish a limit. Call 435-716-9755 before you load the truck.
Use the same Logan site. Nibley points residents there, and Logan charges every Cache County resident the same price.
Go before noon or after 1 p.m. if you can. PaintCare’s listing shows the hazardous waste program closed from noon to 1; the city posts only the scale house hours.
Take leftover paint and thinner to the household hazardous waste drop-off at the Logan Landfill & Transfer Station, 153 N 1400 W; the scale house is open Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Paint is on the city’s free list for residential customers, and Cache County residents all pay the same prices. Call 435-716-9755 before bringing a large load.
Logan, Utah (Cache County) has an everyday paint drop-off: the household hazardous waste area at the Logan Landfill & Transfer Station, 153 N 1400 W. Logan City Environmental runs it, and it’s free for residents. Nearby cities send their residents here too; Nibley tells residents to take all hazardous waste to the Logan City Landfill. Utah has no PaintCare program.
Logan’s transfer station is the drop-off for Cache County households, and the city charges all county residents the same prices. Nibley City sends its residents here for hazardous waste (scale house 435-716-9777).
Logan’s own pages say only that empty containers can go in your regular trash. PaintCare’s listing for the program, which the city hasn’t confirmed, adds that latex can be dried with sawdust or another absorbent and put in your garbage. Ask the city before you rely on that.
PaintCare’s listing caps residents at 20 gallons of any one item and asks that every item be labeled. The city’s pages don’t confirm that limit. If you have a lot of paint or a jug with no label, call 435-716-9755 first.
The scale house runs 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. PaintCare’s listing says the hazardous waste program closes from noon to 1 p.m. and on holidays. The city doesn’t post that, so aim for the morning or mid-afternoon, or call ahead.
Logan began charging $10 for uncovered loads on January 1, 2026, and state law now requires at least that much. Loads resting on straps or spilling over the bed count as uncovered.
Utah has no PaintCare program, so paint stores don’t take paint back. Utah DEQ suggests sharing extra paint with neighbors, and says counties without their own programs should check with the local health department. The landfill lists a Reuse Shed on site; ask staff what it holds. Businesses must arrange their own hazardous waste disposal.
Keep paint in its original, labeled cans. If the city okays it, dry nearly empty latex at home with sawdust or kitty litter. Pack cans upright in a box, and cover your load with a tarp or lid so you don’t pay the $10 fee.

October 16, 2026: read Logan City Environmental’s household hazardous waste, landfill, hours, fees and uncovered-load pages, Nibley City’s waste page, a 2017 Utah Public Radio story (free hazardous waste disposal at the Logan landfill), Utah DEQ and PaintCare’s locator (Logan listed as a non-program site). Unresolved: the city page says ‘Paint’ without splitting latex and oil-based; the drying advice, 20-gallon cap, noon–1 closure and Cache-County-only rule come from PaintCare’s listing, not the city site. The city’s hazardous waste page doesn’t give hours; we used the scale house hours. PaintCare lists 435-716-9776; the city lists 435-716-9755 (office) and 435-716-9777 (scale). The Reuse Shed is named but not described. Smithfield City pages that pointed residents to the landfill (smithfieldutah.gov/node/9072 and /9074) returned 404 on Oct. 16, 2026. We found no official Logan or Cache County page for the 20-gallon cap, the noon–1 closure, the Cache-County-only rule or the drying tip, so the guide labels them as PaintCare-only.
