How to Prepare Acrylic Paint for Disposal

Some of the most immediate methods of disposing of acrylic paint include recycling, donating, throwing away non-toxic acrylic paint, and taking your toxic acrylic to your area’s hazardous products disposal facility.

The type of acrylic paint disposal method you use depends on the amount of your
leftover paint and whether it’s toxic. To dispose of non-toxic acrylic paint, consider the following tips:

Dry the Paint  

Throwing out liquid acrylic paint is not recommended because it can leak and contaminate the environment and natural resources. Leave your canisters open in a safe and well-ventilated area to dry out the paint. If you have a lot of paint left, you can mix it with a paint hardener, available at most hardware stores and paint specialty stores. 

Do NOT pour it out 

Whether toxic or not, do not pour acrylic paint down your drains or wash its containers in a sink. Limit any direct exposure of your acrylic paint to your drainage system. Hardened paint can create unnecessary buildup in your drains and contaminate wastewater treatment

How to Prepare Oil Based Paints for Disposal

Oil based paints are the most difficult to prepare as the petroleum distillates in the paint will separate and not dry out. Kitty litter, newspaper, or store-bought paint hardeners must be used to properly dry and harden oil-based paint products before they can be disposed of. Oil based paints are considered a household hazardous waste and should be disposed through household hazardous waste collection events.
