FYI...This Saturday, April 4th from 830-2pm. There is a Household Hazardous Waste event at BCCC - Bucks Community College - Newtown, PA. Rain or shine.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to safely recycle and dispose your household hazardous waste 💥
However, certain things are not accepted. Check this link beforehand:

You're probably asking...What the heck do I do with old Latex Paint❓️🤔
Latex paint is considered Municipal Waste and can simply be put in your regular trash once throughly dried. Kitty litter is an option for drying it out but it is costly and heavy. I suggest purchasing paint hardener online or letting it dry out naturally. Feel free to call or text me for any advice 267-987-5512
Mel's Painting no longer offers " Paint Pick Up" services.
In our area, Municipal Waste can not legally be transported without appropriate licensing and permits which is extremely expensive for paint disposal. I tried!
However, we are allowed to offer "in home" disposal if interested.
Be very cautious hiring anyone for old "Paint Pick Up" disposal services. If you do, please make sure they are licensed, and insured with the proper permits because every can of paint can be traced back to you ‼️
