Unused latex paint has solidified, it is not regarded as hazardous waste. It is based on water and doesn't produce vapor that can catch fire. It can be disposed of like regular trash once it has solidified. It is not advisable to dispose of liquid latex paint in drains or on the ground as it poses a risk to the environment. Unused paint can be properly disposed of by letting it air dry, combining it with shredded paper, or solidifying it with leftover paint hardeners. Local laws may mandate that latex paint be sent to a chemical collection center if a contractor has considerable amounts of unused paint.
