Latex Paint

When buying paint, estimate how much you will need for your project.  The average coverage rate is 400 to 450 sq ft per gallon.

Safe Disposal for all Waukesha County Residents:

Dry out the paint. To speed up the drying process you can use:

• paint hardener (available at most hardware stores)
• or add some cat litter to the paint

Throw it away when it is dry. 

Latex paint is not accepted at the county's hazardous waste site.  It is water soluble and not considered a hazardous material.
