A paint disposal or recovery system, which efficiently places the paint in layers and evaporates the water therefrom, permits efficient disposal or efficient recovery of the solid material or the formerly dispersed material. Layers of water-based paints are especially formed on vapor permeable surfaces in trays or on the Surface of a supported, vapor permeable pocket liner. The trays with the liner thereon or the supported pocket liner is then placed in dryer housing. Air or other drying agents are then forced through the dryer housing. The water evaporates and leaves the dispersed material from the water-based paint on the respective surface.

1. A paint disposal or recovery system for a water-based paint comprising: a paper surface being adapted to receive a layer of the water-based paint;a surface support for the paper surface;the water-based paint containing water and at least one material dispersed in the water;an evaporating means being adapted to remove the water in order to leave the at least one material on the paper surface;the at least one material becoming recoverable or disposable;a housing receiving the surface support with the paper surface thereon;the surface support being a liner support rack with a series of base slots therein;the paper surface being a paper, multi-pocket liner having a series of paint slots;the series of base slots including at least one base slot;the series of paint slots including at least one paint slot; andthe at least one base slot receiving the at least one paint slot;the paper, multi-pocket liner being adapted to receive paint in the at least one paint slot;the evaporating means being a small box fan; andthe small box fan being positioned adjacent to the housing in order to force air through the housing thereby causing paint to dry as water evaporates;an upper collar extending from and above the paper, multi-pocket liner;the upper collar facilitating pouring of paint into the paper, multi-pocket liner; andthe upper collar permitting a drying for at least one paint applicator;the housing including a pair of handles to facilitate transportation thereof;the pair of handles including a first blind handle and a second blind handle in opposing sides of the housing; andthe opposing sides being perpendicular to the box fan;a waste paint dryer including at least two waste paint dryers;the at least two waste paint dryers being in a linear gang formation in order for one small box fan can dry all of the paint;the air flow passing into the at least two waste paint dryers over the paint therein and then out of the at least two waste paint dryers. 2. A method of drying water based paint comprising: spreading the water based paint on a paper surface to form drying paint;passing a drying agent over the drying paint to remove water and leave solids from the water based paint; andrecovering the solids;supporting the paper surface before spreading the water based paint on the paper surface to form a supported surface;using air as the drying agent;placing the supported surface in a housing;directing air through the housing;recovering the solids includes recycling the solids or disposing of the solids; andthe solids being in layers;the paper surface being a liner support rack with a multi-pocket liner therein;the liner support rack including a plurality of base slots;the multi-pocket liner including a plurality of paint slots; andeach base slot member of the plurality of base slots receiving a paint slot member of the plurality of paint slots; andforming a line of at least two of the housings;passing air into the at least two housings over the paint therein and then out of the at least two housings. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising: a) recovering the solids includes recycling the solids;b) pulverizing the paper surface with the solids for use in paint; andc) the solids being in layers.
