NOTICE City of Racine Residents LATEX PAINT DISPOSAL We all know about those old paint cans that were saved long ago...the ones that were to be used for “touch-ups.” Now they sit on the basement shelves, dust covered and adorned with cobwebs. You probably told yourself more than once, “I gotta get rid of these someday.” Well, today’s the day and here’s how: Three easy steps for preparing your paint cans for waste collection 1 Pry off the lids on the cans and take a look inside. If there is more than a half can of paint, pour into another less filled can until you have no more than a half of a can full. 2 Add kitty litter, oil dry, sand or sawdust to the can of paint and stir until the paint gets as thick as oatmeal. Be sure to leave the lid off the can so the Public Works solid waste collectors can see the paint has been prepared properly. 3 Place the paint cans on the curb/alley line on your regular solid waste collection day. Half Full + kitty litter, oil dry, sand or sawdust = ready for waste collection For more information about Racine Recycling, visit www.racinerecycles.org or call the Department of Public Works field office, 636-9126.
