IMPORTANT INFORMATION

SSRC will NOT accept LATEX PAINT at any event EXCEPT Hanover. We really mean it! If you bring it, our staff might give you the stink-eye and ask you to step out of line to sort it from the hazardous stuff.

If you are going to be dropping off LATEX PAINT at the Hanover event,
please make sure it is USABLE and it is SEPARATED from your hazardous waste.

Do NOT include LATEX PAINT in your quantity estimate in your form.

Please remember most paint is latex paint. Here is a hint: if it cleans up with soap and water, is water-based, acrylic, or has low VOC's, it is probably latex and it can be disposed of by following these simple steps
