Old Paint

Is there a place I can dump used cans of paint?

[retiredguy123]

If it is latex (water based) paint, just remove the lid and let it dry out. Then, put it in the regular garbage.

There was an article in yesterdays Daily Sun about " get rid of your hazardous stuff" day, I believe it was for Sumter County. If you don't have the paper call them.

The info can be found on page 17 of this week's District Gov Bulletin. The Sumter County event is next Saturday, 4/10. Here's the link.

South of the Turnpike, kidding. Just fill your cans with kitty litter and let it dry out!

Tape the bottom of a cardboard box and dump it in and let it dry. Leave the lid off and let it dry. Throw away with garbage.

It’s getting incinerated now rather than going in a landfill if you put it in the trash

Lake County Transfer station , 1200 Jackson St, Lady Lake, FL 32159
They take paint and other hazardous materials
Open Saturday 8am

[grassiks]

If it’s latex paint in good condition, the Habitat for Humanity Restore make take it to re-use for their building projects. If you give them a call, they make have event dates for latex paint collection.

[Lindaws]

Exactly!

There is a Lake County ( I believe) site on Rolling Acres. The sign says 'Convenience Station.' Check their website for hours and phone numbers. They take all paint. You don't have to dry it out.

Most paint used in The Villages is latex paint. It is not considered hazardous waste.

Baseline Landfill.
Hazardous area is the first right when you pull in off Baseline Road, before the weigh station.
They also take flourescent bulbs and a bunch of other items. For bulk disposal you need to go into main yard.
Yard debris too, but I do not recommend going into that area is it loaded with that white sticky mud that will trash your car. You cannot scrub it off.

Also Home depot and lowes sell a small tube of paint drying agent, a catalyst, works in 5 minutes

Not oil based paint !

Place Cat litter in the paint can. It will dry it quite quickly. Once dry, OK to put in regular trash.

If I have to explain that to you I will have to do it in person

[NoMoSno]

Depends on what county you live in.

[Linda Taranto]

Thanks for this info!

[Rooklift]

I sense you sarcastic attitude ! My point is oil based paint should be disposed of properly to a waste disposal facility. This is my point.
