How to get rid of old paint in Haywood County

Haywood County doesn’t take liquid paint day to day. Dry out latex paint in the can with kitty litter, sawdust, or sand and throw it away with household trash; oil-based paint goes to the county’s periodic household hazardous waste collections, which also take full cans of latex paint.
