How does everyone clean their paint sprayers after using oil based paint in them for painting doors and cabinets? What do you do with all the solvent waste from clean up?
Clean it with mineral spirits and then pour the mineral spirits in the can and take them to you local dump that takes that sort of stuff. You can also take them to paint stores and pay the disposal fee
If the home has an exsisting drain system for a sump pump, it could be as little as $150 for the pump and the labor to install.
If a drain system has to be installed it will be totally dependent upon the work to be done. If the basement is finished and a concrete slab has to be cut, dug and re-laid, it could be well over $10k.
Note - a lot of municipalities will not allow the water from a sump pump into the sewer system, it must go into storm drains or a drain field. Be sure to check your local codes.

I would prep and then spray with laquer. There are a lot of high solid colors that look really good on cabinets. We used to do all white but now do quite a few in black as it seems to clean up the look a little more once you put new pulls on..

That is the best way I have heard to recycle your solvents.
Generally I just pour them out on the gravel and let them evaporate (not the best idea of course).
I prefer oil based paints when it comes to clean up or cold weather exterior painting.

I like a lacquer primer, then paint of choice. Open the windows!
