If you are a do-it-yourselfer and do your own home renovations, please make sure that you are disposing of your materials in a responsible manner. When painting, never dispose of your leftover paint in the storm drain. Always take leftover paint to your community’s waste disposal unit. Or, if you have half a can or more of paint left, you can either bring it to your local Habitat for Humanity or run an ad on Kijiji if you have a full can left. Not only is dumping your leftover paint down the drain harmful for the environment, in most communities it’s illegal.
