There are a lot of things that qualify as hazardous waste, and can’t be picked up by most Roswell trash pickup services. But if you’re in the middle of a home renovation and you have a lot of debris, how will you know what can and can’t be taken by trash pickup services in Roswell GA? Just get in touch with the experts with Georgia Clearing Company and we’ll be glad to let you know. In fact, we get a lot of questions about paint disposal. Here’s some information that will help you decide what to do with all of that paint left over from your project.

 

Proper Disposal of Paint

First, let’s start with latex paint, the type people ask us most about when contacting us about Roswell trash pickup services. Latex is water-based. If you’re down to a quarter-can or less, then it probably won’t make sense for you to try to use it any longer. However, trash pickup services in Roswell GA typically can’t haul away paint as long as it’s in a liquid state, because that could be hazardous to the environment.

So, what do you do? You simply leave the remaining paint in the can with the lid left off. Let it sit for a couple of days until it becomes hard. Once that happens, one of our trash pickup services in Roswell GA professionals can take it away with the rest of your debris.

But what if you’re using an oil-based paint? This is definitely a hazardous chemical, so it can’t go to a regular landfill. It will have to go to a special facility designed to handle this type of waste.

If you’d rather not deal with that, we have a simple solution – just don’t have any leftover oil-based paint. You can add an extra coat to spots you’re renovating, or you can just paint that old chair or bench that’s been sitting outside your home for years.
