LATEX PAINT INFORMATION:
Latex or water-based paints will not be accepted because they are not hazardous waste. ALL water-based paint can
be solidified by opening and letting it dry or using kitty litter, sand or some other absorbent. Once solid, cans (without lids)
can be disposed of with regular household garbage. Empty paint cans, with only a thin film of dried paint can be recycled
with metals.
