How to get rid of old paint in Sumter County

Sumter County’s Citizen’s Drop-Off Area doesn’t take paint. Larger amounts go to the county’s mobile hazardous waste collection days; a little latex paint can be left to dry with the lid off, or mixed with kitty litter, and thrown out with regular trash, along with empty cans.
