2 Dealing with Paint Starting in 2010, the District will no longer be accepting latex paint at our Household Hazardous Waste Collections (oil-based paint will still be accepted). Although latex paint can be brought to our upcoming 2009 collection, the District would like to give you alternative ways to dispose of your latex paint. Please read below. The best way to avoid excess paint is to calculate how much is needed before you start your project. This is easy to do by visiting one of these websites: Benjamin Moore ) select your language, 2) select For Your Home, 3) click on Learn How and 4) click on Paint Calculator on the left. Paint Quality Institute - Lowes ) click on How to Projects, 2) click on Make a Statement with Paint and 3) click on Paint Calculator. Other tips to keep in mind: Buy latex paint. It is easily applied and can be cleaned with soap and water. Use it up. If you can t use the excess paint, give it to friends, relatives, theatrical groups, recreation departments or community service organizations. Give away only paint that is of good quality in its original container with the label intact. Save paint for future use. It will last for years if sealed tightly and stored where it will not freeze. If paint is dry, it can be disposed of in your regular trash. The lid must be removed so the hauler can see it is dry. If the paint is wet, follow these directions: For Latex Paint (water based) For quantities greater than 1 inch left in container 1. Find a well-ventilated area that is protected from children and pets. 2. Add cat litter or sawdust to absorb the paint. 3. Every couple of days, stir the mixture to allow air to flow through. Depending on the type and quantity of paint you have, the drying process can be lengthy and may take from several days to several weeks. 4. When completely dry, discard with the regular trash (put in a bag or box). 5. Leave the lids off so the trash company can see that the paint is hardened. For small quantities (less than 1 inch) 1. Find a well-ventilated area that is protected from children and pets. 2. Remove the lid and allow liquids to evaporate (make sure there is proper ventilation). Do not smoke near cans and avoid contact with the liquid or inhaling vapors. 3. When completely dry, discard with the regular trash (put in a bag or box). 4. Leave the lids off so the trash company can see that the paint is hardened. NOTE: Small quantities of paint and aerosol cans can also be painted on cardboard or newspaper to use up. You can then dispose of the cardboard or newspaper in your regular trash. For Oil-Based Paint Oil-based paints will not dry out using cat litter or sawdust, therefore, the District will still accept oil-based paints at future Household Hazardous Waste Collections. Please remember to only bring oil-based paints to our future collections. 2
