How do I dispose of paint?
- For 1″ or less of paint left in the can, open the lid and store in a safe place until the paint has dried. Dispose of the “opened” can in your garbage. If you have an old board, paint it with the leftover paint and dispose after the paint dries. For volumes more than 1″, purchase paint hardener from a hardware store and add to the paint. When hardened, dispose of the “opened” can in your garbage. For a printable version of how to recycle your paint, click Here.
