Batteries, paint, and electronics

None of these go in the recycling bin. Here's what to do with each, and where to take it.

Paint Depends on the kind
  • Latex paint goes in the trash once it's dry.
  • Leave the lid off to dry it, or stir in kitty litter to speed it up.
  • Oil-based paint, stain, and thinners go to a household chemical collection. The county holds them in spring and summer.
