  Oil Based Paints
  Read the label to find out if the paint is oil base or latex (water base) paint. If you can't use your oil based paint or give it away, save it in its original container. Store in a cool dry place. Bring to ACUA's paint collection days on the first Saturday of EVERY OTHER MONTH from 9 am to 2 pm. Small amounts of oil base paints may also be dried out as well using cat litter or oil spill absorbent material and placed in the regular trash.
   
  Latex Paints
  All paints/sealers that can be cleaned with soap and water are Latex. Try to use it all or donate leftover paint to an individual or local service organization for their use. If that is not possible follow these instructions to safely dispose of excess latex products:
 
  • For small quantities, (containers that are less than ¼ full), remove cover
    and dry out in the can.
  • For large quantities, add some absorbent material such as 'Waste Paint Hardener', cat litter or rags to speed drying). When the paint is dry, place the can with its contents
    in the regular trash.
   
  For more specific information on all types of materials accepted by ACUA, please download the full "ACUA Rules and Regulations" document. Thank you!
