PAINT
Paint cannot be landfilled because it is a liquid. Dried paint in cans can be dumped with your regular trash. So can empty paint cans. If you have paint that is not dry, leave the lid off for a while and let it dry out, or speed up the process by adding kitty litter or Oil-Dry to soak up the liquid. Once it is not longer a liquid, we will be glad to take it along with your regular household waste.
In Craven County, paint is accepted for recycling at the County Convenience Centers. Contact Craven County Solid Waste at (252) 636-6659 for more information.
