But ...Well Roger, I guess YOU just reprimanded me. But in my defense, I was not pouring the paint directly into the drain (even I'm not THAT stupid), I was trying to wash my brush out. Not much paint came off the brush, but enough did to clog the tiny drain in our sink. It never drained very well anyway, so I can use this as an opportunity to take the thing apart and clean it out.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-36789964539075730852008-05-27T15:11:00.000-06:002008-05-27T15:11:00.000-06:00Has anyone reprimanded you for not using a more ec...Has anyone reprimanded you for not using a more eco-friendly method of paint disposal than pouring it into a drain or was the clog sufficiently instructive? Paint and solvent wastes should be placed in a container and taken to a designated haz waste disposal facility. At least where I live, there are periodic free collection days for such materials at the landfill.Roger A.
