Maine rules and programs

Paint recycling program
Yes
Leftover latex or oil-based house paint, primer, stain and varnish can be dropped off free at 130 PaintCare sites in Maine, including retail stores and household hazardous waste sites. A PaintCare fee of $0.50–$2.00 per container is built into new paint.
Fee by size: $0.50 (over a half pint, under 1 gallon), $1.10 (1–2 gallons), $2.00 (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.

Battery disposal rules
Yes
Car (lead-acid) batteries are banned from Maine's trash and landfills. Stores that sell them must take your used battery when you buy a new one; without a trade-in you pay a $10 deposit, refunded within 30 days. A non-refundable $1 fee applies to each new battery.
Maine enacted a battery stewardship law for household batteries in 2026. For household batteries, EPA says alkaline ones can usually go in the trash, but take rechargeable, lithium and button batteries to a battery drop-off or household hazardous waste site.
