Nebraska rules and programs

  • Paint recycling program

    No

    Nebraska has no paint stewardship law, so there is no PaintCare network of free paint drop-off sites (PaintCare runs programs only in 12 states and DC). Ask your local household hazardous waste program what paint it takes.

    EPA lists paint among household products that can contain hazardous ingredients and points people to local household hazardous waste collections instead of drains or, in some cases, the regular trash.

  • Battery disposal rules

    Partly

    Car (lead-acid) batteries are banned from Nebraska landfills, but the law has no store take-back rule. A 2025 battery stewardship law (LB 36) brings free household battery recycling and a disposal ban from January 1, 2028.

    Until then, EPA advises returning car batteries to a battery retailer or household hazardous waste collection and keeping rechargeable, lithium and button batteries out of the trash.
