OCRRA accepts OIL-BASED paints at their Household Hazardous Waste Collections, at no charge, from households. Call 453-2866 or sign up online to make a reservation. PLEASE NOTE: For the beauty of the community, do not put paint cans in the trash that contain liquid paint. This creates a mess on the streets during the collection process.
To properly dispose of LIQUID LATEX paint, dry it out and throw it in the trash.
Easy LATEX PAINT Disposal Instructions:
1) Remove the lid.
2) Expose the liquid paint to air. Be sure to keep away from animals and children.
3) If there is a lot of paint, add cat litter or paint drying crystals
(available at most hardware stores) to the paint. Leave the lid off and wait for the paint to be absorbed.
4) When the paint is dry, put can and lid in the trash (leave lid off the can).
Other Options for Oil-Based and Latex Paints:
