Paint

 

Paint that is completely dried may be thrown away in the regular trash collection. If there is a small amount of leftover paint in the can, it must be dried out, which can be done by adding an absorbent material (e.g. cat litter).

 

Latex paint (the type that can be cleaned with water) needs to be air-dried in its container. After the paint is completely solidified, it can be disposed of in the regular trash collection.
