We get a lot of questions about what to do with left-over paints.
Surprisingly, left-over LATEX or WATERBASED paints can be dried out and tossed in your normal trash. We sell packets of paint hardener which you add to a partially filled gallon of paint. After a few days it should be dry enough to dispose of.
SOLVENT BASED or OIL BASED paints must never be placed in the trash but instead disposed of safely with the Kent County Department of Public Works.
