How to Dispose of Latex Paint in Santa Clara, CA
Take paint latex to the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program, which is free for county residents but appointment-only. Book online or call 408-299-7300; the county deliberately withholds the exact drop-off address until you have an appointment, so you will receive the site location by email after booking. The county runs permanent facilities in East San Jose and San Martin plus temporary events in Santa Clara.
