When you are done painting your home, what should you do with the old paint? We did a little research and here are 4 things you should do and 1 that you should absolutely NOT do:
Store it for touch ups.
Donate it to a local charity like Habitat for Humanity.
Acrylic paints can typically be left to dry out, then you can dispose of it in your trash can. Always check with your local municipality for proper instructions.
Chicago residents can drop off household chemicals, electronics and other toxic things at the City of Chicago Recycling Center located on: 1150 N. North Branch Street, Chicago, IL. Check their website for more details.
Please DO NOT pour it down the sink or in a drainage ditch. That feeds into the water we drink.
