Latex Paint and Stain Disposal and Recycling
Latex paint is not a hazardous material. 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 the paint is dry.
