Easy disposal of paint.

Disposing of unwanted paint can be difficult because paint is considered a hazardous waste in its liquid form (it can leech into ground water if dumped in a landfill in this form.) Here's a tip for drying out paint to simplify disposal. Stir sawdust or cat litter into the container until the paint is covered and let it sit until the mixture is dry. Depending on the regulations in your area you may be able to discard the dried paint with your household garbage. Check with your state environmental protection agency for specific guidelines in your area.

Also you can take it to most paint stores and they can dispose of it for you in a safe environmentally healthy way.
