How To Dispose Of Left Over Paint

 People often ask me what they should do with their leftover paint.
 
Dulux has a product called Dulux Envirosolutions Waste Paint Hardener. it's an environmental way ofdisposing of paint by turning water based paints into solid waste.
 
This won't work for oil based paints so it's best to pour the leftovers onto some sort of absorbent material to dry such as shredded paper or kitty litter. Once dry it can be thrown out with the normal household rubbish.

If you have large amounts of paint to dispose of then your local council can advice where to go for this.
