flipper Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does anyone know how/where I can dispose of 6 or 7 gallons of oil based paint? The mega-recycling place on westpark doesn't take oil based paint. This is their ridiculous suggestion: Oil-based paint or paint that has the word "alkyd" on the label should be used up until none is left. This can be done by painting old boards or newspapers in a well-ventilated place. Then the painted wood and newspapers can go into the trash along with the empty can.How can a sophisticated city like Houston not have a program for this?Anyone want it?flipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
