Absorb and Trash: Pour liquid into a plastic bag with absorbent material, such as shredded newspaper, old rags, or sawdust. Once liquid is absorbed, seal the bag, then throw away in trash can. An oil change box provides the same results. Paints can be hardened in the can, then thrown away. For containers with small quantities of liquids, close the container securely to prevent spillage, then throw away. For sprays, place absorbent material in a plastic bag, spray until can is empty, being careful not to inhale the fumes; leave c an in bag. then tie and throw away in trash container.
