Tip & Warning

* The easiest way to use any kinds of paint is to use it up! You should estimate the amount of paint that you need for your work. It’s not only healthy for the environment, but also your budget.

* Another easy option is to ask friends, neighbors, or other people in your community whether they need it for their works. It’s the good way to keep it out of your land or your house.

* If you want to store the left over paint, you can do it by wrapping its lid with the plastic wrap. Keep it out of reach for pets and children. Moreover, keep it in the appropriated temperature – you can notice it from the label on the paint cans.

* If you want to dispose of latex or water-based paint by yourself, you just pour the left over paint to the sawdust, cat litter, or sand. Wait for the sand’s absorbed, then you can simply throw it to the trash.

* You shouldn’t use the sand method to the oil-based paint because this kind of paint’s concerned the environmental and public health damaging. You should look for or contact to the hazardous waste facility of the government.

* Paint cannot be reuse but recycle. In cement manufacturing, non-reusable paint can be made into other products. Surprisingly, recycling one gallon of paint could save 13 gallons of water!

* The best option falls to recycling the paint and its container. Let the rest air dry, if you've emptied a can of paint then recycle it with other metals. Also check with your waste recycler, first. Anyway, many community recycling programs now accept paint cans this way.
