What Do You\u00a0Do With Old Paint?<\/h1>\n
\"Oil-Based<\/a>

Oil-based paints and stains should be carefully, and legally, disposed of at a recycling center.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Springtime is coming up soon and a lot of you will be cleaning out your garages and storage buildings. \u00a0When\u00a0you get the bikes with flat tires out of the way there are bound\u00a0to be a few old paint cans with lids crusted on laying around somewhere. \u00a0They were there last year, and the year before. \u00a0But you have no clue what to do with them. \u00a0So you push them to the side promising yourself you’ll look up the correct answer on Google. \u00a0Well… here you are.<\/p>\n

Water-based Paints and Stains-<\/h2>\n

People who have cans of water-based paints or stains are in luck. \u00a0You can scoop up some of the kitty litter from the bag that busted over the winter and add it to the water-based paint. \u00a0Stir it up and allow it time to fully dry and viola! \u00a0As long as it’s completely dry, you should be able to toss it in your trash receptacle and your trash company will haul it off. \u00a0Leave the lids off, preferably. \u00a0But once the paint is completely dried out, it poses no threat to environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oil-based paints and stains-<\/h2>\n

If the cans have oil-based paints and stains in them, it gets a little trickier. \u00a0You can’t just dry them out and toss them in the trash. \u00a0Even dried up, oil-based paints and stains still pose a threat to the environment. \u00a0Instead, call your local recycling center or your trash company. \u00a0You can ask them where you can drop off the oil-based paints and stains. \u00a0Sometimes there is a fee for this, but it’s usually small. \u00a0However, it’s a lot cheaper\u00a0than getting yourself caught dumping the paint or stain illegally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
