How to get rid of old paint in Hanover County

Paint can be hardened and put in the household trash. Stains, primers, varnish, and thinners go in the Category 1 drum at any convenience center. Oil-based paint goes to the county’s hazardous waste collections at its Earth Day and America Recycles events, twice a year.
