In order to reduce costs,
the HHW program will no longer accept
latex paint for drop-off. Latex paint is not hazardous and can be thrown
away with the regular trash once solid. Dry the paint out with sand, sawdust,
or kitty litter and leave the lid off so waste haulers can see that paint is
dry. If the gallon is full, the can in good condition and the label is
unpainted, Building Value, a materials reuse store, may accept the paint as a
donation. Residents should always call ahead before dropping off paint at
Building Value (475-6783).
