Latex Paint Disposal Procedure Latex Paint can be thrown in the regular trash, but it must be solid. To solidify latex paint, you must:

1. Remove the lid

2. Add enough cat litter to the paint to absorb all of the liquid

3. Make sure the cat litter is mixed down to the bottom of the can

4. Leave the lid off, place the paint can in a sunny location, out of the reach of children and animals, and let it sit until it hardens

5. Once the paint. cat litter mixture is hard, it can be thrown in the trash

If you have a full can of paint, simply take a box and line it with a trash bag. Solidify half of the paint with cat litter in the box and solidify the remaining paint with cat litter, right into the can following the instructions above.

Under no circumstances can enamel paint be thrown in the trash or poured down the drain. It must be disposed of properly as a hazardous waste.
