Eek! A gallon of latex paint was knocked over on my lawn. Anyone know how to attempt to clean it up?

The paint left a 3 foot diameter area covering my grassy side yard. It looks terrible and I'm sure is not so friendly to the lawn or environment.Eek! A gallon of latex paint was knocked over on my lawn. Anyone know how to attempt to clean it up?
latex paint is water soluble. Flush it with water.Eek! A gallon of latex paint was knocked over on my lawn. Anyone know how to attempt to clean it up?
If it is dried, I would use a flat shovel and scrape it off.


If it is still wet, I would get a thin board and put it near the wet paint, then get another thin board and scrape the paint with the second board on to the first one that is on the ground. (you'll need help with someone holding down the board to the ground) After you get as much as you can scraped up, poor that paint in to the bucket. After you get as much of it up as you can, spray toward a gutter with the hose. Latex paint is water soluble and will wash away.


If that sounds like too much, let it dry, see what can be peeled up with a shovel.


Have fun - this kind of clean up work is right up my ally, I should look in to a new career...
It won't harm the lawn or the environment. It's latex.. Water it as usual, and mow when it needs it.
Shovel/dig it up and put it into plastic bag(s). Probably have to take dirt with it, then deliver to the local hazardous waist disposal site.
if it isn't dried wash it down with water-be a month of regrowth of grass before its all gone-if its hard shovel it up
