Household Hazardous Waste Disposal: 

Latex Paint:
Latex Paint is non-hazardous and can be disposed of with your regular trash.  Any paint left in the can MUST be completely dried out.  You may do this by mixing the paint with kitty litter or you may purchase a paint hardener kit at your local home improvement store in the paint section.  We recommend disposing no more than  two cans of paint in each bag of trash.  Please do not leave cans on the curb they will not be taken.
