*If you have latex paint, we prefer that you dry it out with cat litter and dispose of it in the garbage. If you have a large quantity or don't have the time to dry it out yourself, we will accept your latex paint for disposal.
If you have any questions about whether we can accept your materials or products for disposal, please contact:
