How to Dispose of PAINT 

            Throughout Westchester, the recommended method for getting rid of oil and latex paint is by hardening the paint and putting it out with the trash.  (Only Rye Brook, White Plains and Yorktown residents are asked to put hardened paint out on bulk pick-up days.)  Paint can be hardened by air drying it, and adding absorbent material, like kitty liter, to speed up the process.   

            A new product on the market called Waste Paint Hardener can harden a gallon of latex paint in minutes.  (Kitty liter is best to use for hardening oil based paint.)  If you have latex paint to dispose, you may want to give Waste Paint Hardener a try.  Below is a list of local paint and hardware stores that carry the product.
