Apply the following measures when disposing of the paint you do not want to store or use at a future time:
- Latex paints are not hazardous, however, they have to be solidified properly to avoid potential environmental contamination

- Latex paints can be disposed of as regular trash only if they are first dried through the process of evaporation
- Oil-based paints and solvents are treated as hazardous waste materials that require additional precautionary and safety measures
- Oil-based paints and solvents are NEVER to be dried or disposed of in regular trash like latex paints
- Always contact your local authorities for instructions on how and where to dispose of them
