Why can’t I bring latex paint?
Latex paint is not considered to be a hazardous material. It can be disposed of by putting it in the trash.
The recommended method for disposal is to put kitty litter in a box, spread the paint over the litter, allow it to dry, and then dispose of it with your garbage. There are also paint hardeners that can be purchased at a hardware store.
Proper Handling of Household Hazardous Waste
- Keep products in original containers.
- Place it in a leak-proof container.
- Do not mix products together.
- Pack containers in sturdy boxes in the trunk or in the rear of your vehicle.
- Store products away from kids, pets and fire.
