Latex paint disposal tips:
? Water-based latex paint is NOT a hazardous waste and can be safely disposed of with your regular household garbage once it is dried out and no longer liquid
? Mix the paint with kitty litter, dirt or sand to help it dry out and solidify
? Break the top layer and stir so that wet paint underneath can dry faster
? Dried-out cans of paint with the lid off can be discarded in household trash
