The paint recycling bill just vetoed, New Hampshire HB-451, was all about latex paint.

Drying out latex paint may be relatively easy to do in Florida, but in New Hampshire it is a long slow process of mixing cat litter with the latex paint in a utility plastic container and needing three days of 85-degree temps and low humidity to get it to dry solid and then placing the dry latex solid mix it into a trash bag.

Suggest you take a look at www.paintcare.org, a latex paint recycling program in use for maybe 15-years in about 12 different states plus Wash DC including Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. You need to show an i.d. like a driver's license to dispose of your unwanted latex paint so granite staters cannot take their paint cans across the border to White River Junction or Fryeburg.
