Paint Water Disposal?

[OakLeaf]

here I always thought latex was low-toxicity

Most counties have household hazmat disposal events once or twice a year, when you can bring in your used fluids and tires. You can keep a gas can (or two or three) in your garage for your various used fluids until you can bring it for disposal, just label it so you know what's in it - and don't mix different types of fluids.

(Although, Irulan, I just go by that rule on the assumption that things can be recycled, although many of them probably can't. Since you've identified yourself now you get the question Would you, say, put the paint water in the same container with other water-soluble contaminants, like old antifreeze or whatever? Or should they all be kept separate?)


ETA: I just reread my own post, and okay I'll drift this thread Are bicycle tires made of the same materials as car and motorcycle tires? And by that token, should they go to tire disposal facilities, even though they're so small that we're accustomed to putting them in the trash? What about tubes?
