How do I dispose of paint?

For latex paint ONLY (water based), stir it up with sand or cat litter, leave it with the cover off and put it in a dry area until the paint is solid. The can and its contents may then be put into your Newmarket Trash bag and placed at the curb for pickup. If the paint is alkaline (oil or lead-based), empty as many part cans as you can into one can. Place empty cans on newspaper, cardboard, etc. so that all remaining paint can safely drip out. Once the can is empty and free of all liquid, it can be put into your Newmarket trash bag and placed at the curb for pickup. Any full cans, or part full cans need to be saved to bring to the Hazardous Waste Collection.
