If you have paint left from your decorating project, follow these environmentally friendly tips.
|
1. Do not throw liquid paint in the trash or pour it down the drain.
Do not mix paints for storage or disposal. Leave paint in the original container.
|
2. Do not allow latex paint to freeze. Only store paint in areas that do not freeze. Latex paint that has frozen cannot be used again nor can it be recycled.
|
3. Small amounts of latex paint can be air-dried and disposed through your trash collection system.
Only purchase the quantity you need. Find creative uses for excess paint.
|
4. Protect our environment.
