Key Points to
Remember When Painting Over Graffiti!
-
Never
throw paint or paint-contaminated water down a storm drain or onto the
ground.
-
Always
clean brushes and
equipment in a sink or drain in your home where it can go through a sewage
treatment plant.
-
For small amounts of paint left in cans, leave
uncovered (or mix in clean cat litter) in a safe place away from children
and pets until paint dries and hardens. Dispose of dried paint cans (lids
off) in the trash.
-
Always
use latex paint it’s safer for the environment. If you are using oil based
paint dispose of it by taking it to the hazardous waste station of the
landfill. Call Spokane’s Regional Solid Waste hotline at 625-6800 if you
have any questions regarding paint disposal.
The difference
between graffiti and art is permission. |
