Hazardous Waste Household Tips Did you know that you can dispose of paint safely by drying it up first? When paint is dried before disposal it’s not hazardous and can be safely land filled. You can dry up latex paint and dispose of it in your trash without harming the environment. If you have too much paint in a can to air dry you can speed up the process by adding sawdust, oil dry, cat litter, or you can use a special paint hardener that be purchased a an local paint or hardware store. Once dried the paint can be safely disposed of.
Mark your calendars! The “Soup Supper” is Saturday, February 25, from 4 – 7 p.m.
