Latex and Oil-Based Paint
Latex paint is water-based and has a very low level of toxicity. Disposing of it as hazardous waste is unnecessary and very expensive, so most facilities do not accept it. Therefore, the Illinois EPA and Kane County encourage people with unwanted latex paint to use other options. Oil based paint and stain are to be treated and disposed of as Household Hazardous Waste.
