Latex Paint
Latex paint is not hazardous and can be safely thrown away with your regular trash once it is solid. Simply leave the lid off and mix in sand, sawdust, or kitty litter to speed up the process. Once it is solid, place the can next to your trash with the lid off so your waste hauler can see that it is dry.
Reduce waste by only purchasing the volume of paint you will need. Use this interactive calculator from the Paint Quality Institute so you don’t buy more paint than you really need.
