Paint: If the paint is still usable, try to donate to someone who can use it. If it is not usable, and
only a small amount is left in the can, take the lid off and let it harden. If there is a large
quantity, mix with kitty litter, sand or sawdust to aid in the drying time. Do this in a
well-ventilated area. When the paint is in a solid form, it may be disposed of with your
regular garbage. Leave the lid off so your waste hauler can see it is in solid form.
If in an aerosol can and it is almost empty, discharge contents of container into a deep
cardboard box outdoors, away from open flame and sources of heat, protecting skin and
eyes. Allow to dry, and dispose of box and container in the trash.
Antifreeze: In the City, antifreeze may be flushed down toilet or sink using large amounts of
water. Pour slowly and carefully to avoid splashing. Do NOT pour down septic system
or storm sewer. Remember, pets are strongly attracted to the smell of antifreeze, and
antifreeze is very toxic to animals.
