What About Paint Cans?

Just a few hours and the paint is dried up

Check with your waster hauler for proper disposal

 Several weeks before the closing of your home you will want to consider getting rid of the unwanted paint cans. Unless the buyer requests the old paint for touch-up, the extra cans of paints are considered hazardous material. Since most paint is water-based, disposing of those unwanted colors is easy. First, contact your local municipality to determine their rules for proper disposal. In Oconomowoc, as long as the paint is hard, the waste hauler will take care of it. Veolia Environmental services the greater Lake Country area. For clean-up I purchase large tinfoil roasting pans then fill them with an inexpensive kitty litter. I pour the remaining paint into the pan, stir and in a few hours the paint is hard and can be thrown out in the trash. Take a few moments before the rush of the closing and take care of those extra cans of burnt orange and lavender paint!
