How To
Dispose Of Paint!
We are no different,
everybody loves the look of a freshly painted house. However, a common question
that is asked when someone is renting a dumpster is, “May I put my wet paint,
or paint cans in the bin as well?”
The answer to that question is yes and no. If the paint is 100% dry,
water-based (latex) it can be put directly into the dumpster.
Oil based paint which is considered hazardous waste, must be taken to one of the 4 collection locations in Kent County. (see the addresses and times at the bottom of this article).

Disposal Method
The most
popular way is to mix the wet paint with something solid and let it dry. Kitty
litter, sawdust, or newspaper are the most common items to mix in and make the
paint solid. Home Depot, Lowe’s and other home improvement stores
also offer waste paint hardeners. Just open the can, pour in one of
those materials, mix them thoroughly together with a paint stick, and let it
dry. Once dry, you can place the open cans (without the lids on),
into your trashcan if you have a few, or if you have several they can go in the
dumpster.
Most
Cost Effective Way To Dispose Of Paint
The
easiest way is to simply let it dry out. If it is sunny, take off the
lids and place the cans in direct sunlight. This may take some time
if there is a lot of paint left in the can. To speed up this process, you
can spread it out on a cardboard box, plywood, or even a section
of old carpet, increasing the surface area of the paint will make it dry
faster. So, whip out the can opener and paint brushes to spend a few
minutes painting the items you are disposing of anyway.
Most
Environmentally Friendly Disposal
The best and
most environmentally friendly way
is to recycle it. There are some charities that will accept paint
for their use, some of these organizations would be Boy Scouts; they
tend to run on a limited budget therefore most troops may take your paint. Some
other options would be Habitat for Humanity Restore (https://www.habitatkent.org/locations-hours/)
which takes in reusable construction and painting materials to build houses for
those in need. RepcoLite paint stores also accept latex paint free of charge. (https://www.repcolite.com/repcolite-hours-and-locations/).
