2. How can I dispose of unwanted paint?

If your latex (water-based) paint is unusable, the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District offers directions on properly drying the paint for disposal with your normal household solid waste.

Oil-based paints and paint products, such as thinners, solvents & stains, are classified as hazardous waste. If you can’t use up these products, they need to be disposed of during Household Hazardous Waste Collections.
