31 sites in Connecticut are listed for household hazardous waste: 2 landfills, 25 transfer stations and 4 drop-off centers. The most are in Capitol Planning Region (10), Western Connecticut Planning Region (6) and Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region (4).
23 post hours and 18 publish a fee, and 8 say they serve residents only. A site is listed when its own record names household hazardous waste. Limits and fees differ, so call before you load up.
Leftover latex or oil-based house paint, primer, stain and varnish can be dropped off free at 157 PaintCare sites in Connecticut, including retail stores and household hazardous waste sites. A PaintCare fee of $0.50–$2.25 per container is built into new paint.
Fee by size: $0.50 (over a half pint, under 1 gallon), $1.15 (1–2 gallons), $2.25 (over 2, up to 5 gallons). Bring paint in original labeled, lidded containers up to 5 gallons; every site accepts up to 5 gallons per visit, some more. No aerosols, thinners or solvents. 100+ gallons: free pickup.

Car (lead-acid) batteries are banned from Connecticut's trash and landfills. Sellers must take back used batteries one-for-one at the point of sale; without a trade-in you pay a $5 deposit, refunded within 30 days.
Household batteries: Connecticut's battery stewardship law (Public Act 25-34, signed June 10, 2025) takes effect January 1, 2027 and requires producers to fund free collection. Until then, EPA says keep rechargeable, lithium and button batteries out of the trash.
