How do I dispose of paints and chemicals?

To dispose of latex paint

  • Mix equal parts kitty litter with old latex paint
  • Wait for the kitty litter to absorb the paint
  • Place the can of dried paint in the regular trash

The Somerset County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program gives residents a legal and cost-free way to dispose of unwanted household items that cannot be disposed of in the regular trash.
