Does anyone know of a paint disposal place in phoenix, az?

Answer 1

I used to work for for a place in Florida where testing for all road and bridge materials was conducted, including paints

Did you know, paint is only hazardous in liquid form? Once it is dry, it is no longer hazardous? It is the liquid components, such as keytones, that are the hazardous parts. Once they evaporate and the paint is completely dry, the paint is no longer hazardous.

Find a safe place outside to place the open can and allow the paint to completely harden for several days. To speed up drying, you can pour it into small plastic or other material pans to make large, thin pieces. After it is completely set, it is no longer a hazardous material and can be treated like regular garbage.

Just remember to allow it to COMPLETELY set, even in the middle (which could take longer than you think), make sure you do it outside only, so that fumes do not build up, and keep the can in a safe place away from pets and people, especially children.

Answer 2

I don't know about a disposal place, but here's some suggestions.

First - ask at any local theater group or school theater program if they can use it for their sets.

Look in the yellow pages under recycling.

Ask at any paint store in the area.
