We stopped by a hardware store yesterday to get some paint sample card for house projects. As we near the painting stage, I got to thinking that we will get rid of the leftover paint from the last time. It was kept for touch ups.
Do you have paint cans from projects you don't remember? One organizational technique is to write the room you painted on the can so you don't forget. But, if it's unknown or old, get rid of it!
I went to Stafford County's waste management website to find out about paint disposal. I copied the following directions:

If the paint is in good condition, consider donating it to Habitat for Humanity. Call the local office at (540) 891-5009.
If you have less than half a can, open the lid and let it dry. If you have more than 1/2 a can, you can add kitty litter, sawdust or a commercial product to help absorb the moisture. Once dry, put it in your regular trash.
If the paint is oil-based, please save it for the next household hazardous waste day for proper disposal. Thank you.
