New Hampshire rules and programs
Paint recycling program
NoNew Hampshire 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
PartlyNew Hampshire bans lead-acid (car) batteries from landfills and incinerators, but its law has no store take-back or deposit rule. EPA advises returning car batteries to a battery retailer or household hazardous waste collection.
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.
