Painting project?
Dispose of your left over paint carefully!
Never dispose of paint by pouring it down the drain. It can seep into our water sources. Remove the lid and let the paint air dry in the can. To speed up the process, stir in an absorbent material such as clay kitty litter, sawdust, or leftover concrete mix. Never pour oil paint into a drain or into the ground. It is considered hazardous waste, and disposing of it this way is illegal. Contact your municipality for instructions on how to dispose of oil based paint.
Be kind to mother earth.
