Latex Paint and Stain Disposal and Recycling
To discard leftover latex paint in the trash it must first be hardened. Leave the lid off or to expedite the process, add an absorbent such as cat litter, oil dry or saw dust. Once the liquid paint is absorbed, place the can in the garbage with the lid off so the driver can tell that the paint is dry.
Empty paint cans may be recycled in the curbside recycling program. After using up the paint, allow the residue to dry by leaving the lid off, which leaves a thin skin of dried paint on the interior of the can. Place the can in the recycling bin with the lid off, so the driver can see that the can is empty and dry.
