Furniture	Although furniture is not banned from Wisconsin landfills, it is a bulky item that in many cases can easily be reused. You can donate items to your local reuse store (Bethesda Thrift Shop, St. Vincent DePaul, Goodwill, etc.) try to sell them at a garage sale or an online market such as Craigslist.org or give them away to friends or through Freecycle.org
Latex Paint Disposal	Because latex paint is relatively non-toxic, it can be placed in the garbage if it is properly and completely solidified as long as you do the following: First, check to make sure it is latex paint - look on the label for "latex" or directions to clean up or thin with water. Oil-based or combustible paints and stains left over from home projects, whether liquid or solid, should be taken to the Dane County Clean Sweep Facility at 2302 Fish Hatchery Rd. for proper disposal. - Remove the lid and let the paint dry out in the can; protect from freezing and rain as well as curious children and animals. This only works when an inch or less of paint is left in the can and is most effective in warmer months. - Mix latex paint with an equal amount of cat litter, stir in completely and allow to dry. - Mix latex paint with a latex paint hardener; stir and allow to harden. Paint hardener can be purchased at your local hardware store. Follow the directions on the package.
