Johnson County Recycles

It’s that simple 😇

Cleaning out the garage? 🎨 Before you toss those old paint cans, here’s the scoop on how to do it safely:

✅ If the latex paint is completely empty or fully solidified, it can go in your trash. (Tip: Mix in some kitty litter or paint hardener to speed it up!)

🚫 NEVER put liquid latex paint in the trash.

🚫 NEVER put oil-based, alkyd or other flammable paints in the trash (even if they're empty).

If it’s still wet, take it to the Johnson County or Olathe Household Hazardous Waste facilities to keep our community safe and clean. ♻️
