The Enviromental Proctection Act would like to catch you at any given moment and harrase you with greif. The State EPA and the citys Enviromenal department now knows who is doing the dumping in our river thanks to your response. We did the same type of thing basically unknowingly. After doing a painting project from one of our customers we cleaned our paint brushes out in of our lawn one day and someone called in a compalint to the city's enviromental department and an inspector came to us, and stated no contaminating the enviroment since latex paint has glycol in it, thus the gycol is the same type of mixture that you put in your vehicles radiator as antifreeze. The only place to dispose of latex paint by cleaning methods is down the sink. Since the waste that goes down the drain and is classified as waste water the nasty waste water is collected and processed at a collection facility and is enviromentally diluted, and clorinated before the waste water reaches the river and our Atlantic ocean locally.
What was an even worse idea was you giving up your sense of humor long ago. It's not my fault you picked painting aka drinking as a career.

Several times a year hazardous waste days are held in various locations throughout the county and paint and other items can be taken there as well. The dump is open weekdays and on Saturday mornings.
There's also a site in SJC on US1 a little south of Nocatee (we were there last week). PVB has local collections about 2/3 times a year.

Note that only county residents can use sites in particular counties. Robyn

Easiest way to dispose of latex paint is just to let the water dry out in the can..then throw the can away. For mineral spirits/acetone/naptha/tolulene/MEK based paints, they need to be disposed by taking them to the proper waste management collection agency.
