A copy of the disposal record is available upon request. While oil-based paint is considered a Household Hazardous Material and requires disposal at a licensed facility, latex paint is not. Because latex paint has water, not oil, as its base, it can be disposed of safely at home without posing a risk to the environment. Before disposing of any paint, however, it is essential that an individual check the label on the container to verify that it is a latex paint and is eligible for home disposal. For small amounts of paint, remove the lid form the container and allow the paint to air-dry thoroughly.
