Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Need to Get Rid of Paint?

Dry it up and throw it out!

How to prepare paint for disposal:

1. Remove the paint can lid,
2. Make sure the paint can is 1/2 full or less. If there is more, pour excess into another container.
3. Let container sit out and dry until completely solid. For faster results, purchase a paint hardener to mix into the remaining liquid. 
4. Once paint is dry and solid, you can now throw it away in your normal trash receptacle.
