How to Dispose of Latex Paint in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia notes latex/water-based paint is not hazardous when solidified: mix with absorbent (kitty litter/newspaper) until solid, then place in regular trash. Convenience Centers accept solidified latex/water-based paint cans. Liquid paint also appears on the HHW event accepted list if you prefer an event drop-off.
