Paint - Latex
If your paint says “latex”, “clean up with
soap and water” or “acrylic” you should
stir in cheap clay cat litter or oil dri as
much as there is paint in the can. This will
dry it out in a few days. Set out for the
regular trash with the lid off, if workers
can see it is dry they will pick it up.
Have a full can? Put a trash can liner in a
cardboard box, pour the cat litter in the
box and pour paint on top until you get
to half full to divide it out.
Wildcat Creek Waste District and Frankfort
Street Dept. do NOT take latex paint, but
do take oil based.
