Paint Disposal
If you're like most people, you've probably got a can or two of old paint sitting around in the garage. Paint doesn't last forever, so what do you do when you want to get rid of the old stuff? Most garbage services won't pick up sealed paint cans because they could rupture and drip all over the neighborhood. Here's a great solution:
If you've just got a little paint left, just leave the can open until the paint hardens. For more paint, pour it onto a big piece of cardboard and leave it outside until the solvents evaporate, then just throw the whole thing away. Of course, if you've got kids or pets, put your cardboard in a safe place, where they can't get to it.
