The station is at Horsethief Canyon, about four miles south of Jackson on US 26/89/191, on the east side of the road. Teton County has no active landfill nearby; the county says trash is shipped 100 miles to a landfill in Idaho (Bonneville County, per a 2024 county release reported by Buckrail), which is why liquids and chemicals are banned here.
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.

From PaintCare’s drop-off map ↗, updated October 6, 2026. Hours and limits are PaintCare’s. Distances are straight-line, not driving.
Keep the cans sealed in a safe corner of your garage or shed and book a spring appointment. The 2026 brochure’s last collection date is set for Oct. 21; try for that only if a slot is still open. Don’t put the cans in the trash.
Dry it with kitty litter, one part litter to two parts paint, and leave the lids off for about 24 hours. Then take it to the Trash Transfer Station, which charges $153 a ton with a $10 minimum.
Businesses can use the hazardous waste facility by appointment and pay the reduced posted fee, such as $5 a gallon for flammable paint. Latex still has to be dried before it goes to the Transfer Station.
Partly full aerosols go to a hazardous waste appointment ($2 each). Empty ones can be recycled with cans.
In Jackson, Wyoming, dry latex paint with kitty litter (one part litter to two parts paint) and take it to the Teton County Trash Transfer Station at Horsethief Canyon, 5400 W. US Hwy 89. Oil-based paint needs a booked appointment at the county’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 3270 S. Adams Canyon Rd. (tetoncountywy.gov/HHW or 307-733-7678), which runs mid-April to mid-October; if you miss this season, store the cans sealed until spring. Don’t take liquid paint or oil-based paint to the Transfer Station.
Jackson, Wyoming (Teton County, Jackson Hole) handles paint in two ways. Oil-based paint goes to Teton County’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility on S. Adams Canyon Road, which opens by appointment only, twice a month, from mid-April to mid-October. Latex is dried solid and taken to the Trash Transfer Station at Horsethief Canyon. This guide is for Jackson, Wyoming, not Jackson, Mississippi. Wyoming has no PaintCare program.
Teton County collects hazardous waste only twice a month, mid-April to mid-October, under a Wyoming DEQ permit that limits how much and how often. Once the season ends, the county suggests storing chemicals safely in a corner of a shed or garage until spring.
Appointments open online ahead of the season (for 2025, the county said March), and the county says they fill early. In 2026 the season began April 15. If you can’t make your slot, call 307-733-7678 so someone else can have it.
Flammable paint costs $5 a gallon or $1.25 a quart, and aerosols $2 each. Grants from the Brinson Foundation, Teton Conservation District and Teton County Weed and Pest cut fees by 33%. Businesses pay the reduced fee; residents are asked to pay what they can afford.
The county’s latex-drying page says to take dried latex to the Trash Transfer Station because trash haulers will no longer collect it. The 2026 brochure words this step differently, so don’t count on curbside pickup in Jackson Hole; ask your hauler or call 307-733-7678 if you want to try it.
Teton County has no active landfill nearby. The county says its trash is shipped 100 miles to a landfill in Idaho (Bonneville County, per a 2024 county release), and oil-based paint, thinners and other chemicals are banned from the Transfer Station and that landfill.
Wyoming has no PaintCare program, so stores don’t take back paint. Give usable paint to a neighbor or community group. Small amounts of latex can be dried with kitty litter. Empty spray cans can be recycled with cans; partly full ones go to hazardous waste. The Recycling Center office at 3270 S. Adams Canyon Rd. (weekdays 9–5) answers questions at 307-733-7678. Wyoming DEQ says never to pour chemicals into storm drains or street gutters.
For latex: take the lid off, stir, mix in one part kitty litter, floor dry or bentonite to two parts paint until it’s like thick oatmeal, and leave it open about 24 hours. For a hazardous waste appointment: list what you have, keep everything in original or labeled containers no bigger than five gallons, and seal the lids. Tarp the load for the Transfer Station.

Maybe, but plan for spring. The last 2026 collection date on the county brochure is set for Oct. 21, and appointments fill early. If you can’t get a slot, store oil-based paint safely until the facility reopens in mid-April.
No. Dry it with kitty litter and take it to the Trash Transfer Station south of Jackson as trash.
Flammable paint is $5 a gallon or $1.25 a quart, and aerosols are $2 each. Businesses pay the posted fee, which grants reduce. Residents are asked to pay what they can.
From mid-October to mid-May: Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.–noon.
October 16, 2026: read Teton County ISWR’s Household Hazardous Waste, appointment, fees, paint and latex-drying pages, the 2026 HHW brochure (PDF), the Trash Transfer Station page and brochure, the holiday schedule, the Recycling page, Buckrail notices from April 23, 2026 and Oct. 31, 2024, Wyoming DEQ’s nonpoint source page and the PaintCare locator data (Teton County record listed as a non-program site; facts used only from it are labeled). Unresolved: the county’s drying page says haulers no longer collect dried latex, while the 2026 brochure words it differently, so we point to the Transfer Station and don’t repeat the brochure line. The brochure and Buckrail list three collection dates in September and October although the county says twice a month; the guide repeats only the Oct. 21 end date. We couldn’t see whether any Oct. 21 slots are still open. No paint quantity limit is published apart from the five-gallon container limit. The fee table doesn’t list latex because it isn’t taken.
