Does anyone know where I can recycle some old paint?

i know acension once a year will take it during their parish wide recycling day. you can mix in cat litter and let it dry then it is acceptable to dispose of as long as it is no longer a liquid.

You might be able to find someone to take if off your hands. Back when I first got married and was broke we rented a shitty little house from a fellow. The interior walls were all strangely colored. One day I asked the old man that owned it about the color. He said he owned 20 something houses he rented and always wanted fresh paint when someone new moved in but didn't want to pay for new paint. He got partial gallons of paint from painters and would just keep adding to 5-gallon buckets and whatever color it ended up was the color for the new house.

Also, there's a similar story about how the Petty Blue color was made.

I found pouring the unused gallons on a sheet of plywood let it dry and pour the next one on top works well. Dries a lot faster than just leaving the cans open. Throw it all away or sell the painted sheet as art for millions.

I needed this thread. I have about 15 cans in my shed that are over 10 yrs old and need to be thrown out. May try the powder if the hazardous waste disposal is more than 6mths out.

just dump it out in the river...

ETA - This is sarcasm.

The Green Project in New Orleans used to be my go to for this.

You can get a nice tax write off as a charitable donation.

I dump it on scrap wood and let it dry then off to the dump.

I've been very unfortunate having lost all my old paint cans in a boating accident.

Bawcomville is the correct answer
