To discard latex paint on your regular trash day, you must follow these steps: Simply add some kitty litter to the leftover paint, stir with a paint stir stick and store uncovered in a safe place. After several days, the paint will harden. Put the cans of hardened paint inside a trash bag along with the lids.

Bring your unwanted medication - no liquids, needles or injectable medication - to the secure drop box in the lobby at the Northville Township Police Department at 41600 Six Mile Road.
