In the game Life is Strange, players may encounter a scenario where they need to get past Victoria and her friends, who are blocking the entrance to the dorm. To achieve this, one option is to spill a bucket of paint on them. The sequence involves interacting with both the paint bucket and the sprinkler system. Players must first tamper with the paint handle so that it loosens and will fall when hung up. Then, they trigger a cutscene where Samuel tries to hang the bucket, causing it to fall and splash paint on Victoria. Additionally, players can create a diversion by tampering with the sprinkler system, causing it to go off and providing an opportunity to knock over the paint bucket. This multi-step process allows players to progress past Victoria and her friends.

Paint dumping and environmental risks
Paint dumping can have detrimental effects on the environment if not done properly. Paint contains many organic solvents, including alcohols, aliphatic compounds, and xylene, which can be toxic to both humans and animals. Hazardous components from paint materials can include elements detrimental to animal and environmental health, such as lead, chromium, solvents, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When paint is improperly handled and disposed of, these aggressive substances can severely damage entire ecosystems.
Leftover paint should not be disposed of in household bins unless it is completely dried or solidified. Latex or water-based paint is not considered hazardous waste when in a solid form and can be cleaned with soap and water. However, oil-based paints are highly flammable and must be disposed of at a specific hazardous waste collection site. Improper disposal of oil-based paints can lead to soil and groundwater contamination.
To dispose of latex paint, mix it with an equal amount of cat litter or other absorbent materials such as sawdust, dirt, or shredded paper. Stir the mixture until it thickens and let it sit for about an hour before disposing of it in the garbage without a lid. Commercial paint hardeners can also be purchased to solidify liquid paint for disposal.
Some local programs and recycling centers accept leftover household paint for recycling. For example, Paintback in Glen Eira City Council, Australia, offers free recycling of leftover paint at their collection points. Product Care Recycling in British Columbia, Canada, also operates over 200 depots that accept residential paint for recycling, provided it is in its original container with intact labelling and is not leaking.

Recycling paint in Victoria
If you have leftover paint in Victoria, you can recycle it for free at Paintback collection points. It is a good idea to call ahead and check if they are currently collecting. Empty paint tins can be collected as part of a hard rubbish collection. Paint and paint tins cannot be disposed of in your household bins.
Paintback is an industry-run paint recycling scheme that transports the paint from the collection point for treatment. The packaging and waste liquid are separated, and the containers are recycled. Waste paint is treated in a number of ways, including energy recovery for solvents and liquid/solid separation for water-based paint, significantly minimising landfill over current practices.
If you are unable to get to a Paintback collection point, you can lay out a thick layer of newspaper on a sunny day and pour the paint onto the paper to dry. Once dry, the set paint can go in your garbage bin, and the empty tin can be taken to a waste transfer station for free.
Household chemicals are not permitted to be put in your kerbside bins or dropped off at waste transfer stations. Sustainability Victoria runs a program called Detox Your Home, which is a free service for Victorian residents to safely dispose of unwanted household chemicals. Collection schedules in South Gippsland Shire are irregular, with none currently scheduled.

Paint disposal safety precautions
Paint should never be dumped onto the ground or down storm drains as it can travel directly into local waterways, causing a significant risk to the environment.
To dispose of water-based or latex paint:
- Pour leftover paint onto old newspapers, cloth, or cardboard. Once the paint has dried, dispose of the products.
- Leave the lid off the can and allow the paint to dry and solidify. Then, toss it in the garbage, leaving the lid off so waste collectors can verify it has been solidified.
- Combine equal parts cat litter, sawdust, shredded paper, or dirt with the paint and stir. Adjust the proportions as necessary until the mixture hardens. Allow the mixture to sit for one hour, then dispose of it (without a lid) in the garbage.
- Commercial paint hardener can be purchased to turn liquid paint into a solid for disposal.
To dispose of oil-based paint:
- Oil-based paints are hazardous materials that must be disposed of at a specific hazardous waste collection site. Most municipalities host Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop-off events at least once a year.
- Place newspapers or cardboard on the ground and spray the remaining paint onto them. Once the can is empty, dispose of it.
Additionally, here are some general safety precautions when dealing with paint:
- Avoid using a screwdriver to open a sealed paint can as the lid can become warped and difficult to seal in the future. Use a key that is specially designed for opening paint cans.
- When storing paint, seal the paint can properly to prevent it from drying up. If paint has gotten into the grooves, wipe it with a clean rag. Use a rubber mallet to tap the lid down securely.
- Store paint in a cool, dark location, like a basement, on a shelf. Avoid storing paint in the garage, especially if you live in a location with extreme weather conditions, as repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can cause the paint to become lumpy.

Paint dumping alternatives
Paint contains chemicals such as solvents and metals that can contaminate groundwater and negatively impact human health if disposed of incorrectly. It is important to dispose of paint responsibly to reduce these impacts and the costs associated with hazardous waste disposal.
One alternative to paint dumping is Paintback®, an industry-led initiative that offers a responsible disposal and innovative reuse of unwanted paint and packaging. Paintback® has over 150 permanent collection sites across Australia, where users can drop off their unwanted paint and packaging. The paint and packaging are then transported from the collection point for treatment. The waste liquid and packaging are separated, and the containers are recycled. The waste paint is treated through energy recovery for solvent and liquid/solid separation for water-based paint, significantly minimising landfill.
Another alternative is to contact a hazardous waste solutions provider such as Cleanaway, which offers a complete waste paint collection and recycling service. Cleanaway can help collect and recycle spray paints and other liquid automotive waste, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. They are present in every major city and region in Australia and can be contacted directly or through a short form on their website.
For small amounts of leftover paint, it is recommended to pour the paint onto absorbent materials such as old newspapers, cloth, or cardboard and then dispose of these products once the paint has dried. Most empty paint tins can be disposed of in regular garbage or recycle bins or dropped off at a waste collection centre. However, it is important to check with your local council's preferences and regulations before disposing of paint products.

Paint dumping regulations
Lead-Based Paint Disposal
Lead-based paint, commonly found in pre-1970s buildings, poses significant health risks, especially during the removal process. Employers and contractors must adhere to strict regulations outlined by WorkSafe Victoria to control the risks associated with lead exposure. These regulations include:
- Identifying the presence of lead paint before commencing any work and notifying WorkSafe.
- Implementing procedures to ensure employees, contractors, and nearby occupants are not exposed to dangerous levels of lead dust, mist, or fumes (above the exposure standard of 0.05mg per cubic metre).
- Substituting dry removal processes with wet methods or using power tools with dust extraction systems.
- Creating enclosures to isolate the lead paint removal area.
- Ensuring proper health monitoring and blood testing programs for employees before and during lead-based paint removal work.
Non-Hazardous Paint Disposal
For non-hazardous paint disposal, Victoria offers an industry-run paint recycling scheme called Paintback. This program collects paint from designated points and transports it for treatment and recycling. Paintback accepts both water-based and solvent-based paints, treating them through energy recovery and liquid/solid separation processes, respectively.
Local Council Guidelines
Specific paint disposal regulations can vary across different council areas in Victoria. For instance, the South Gippsland Shire Council does not permit liquid paint disposal at waste transfer stations or through its Detox Your Home chemical collection program. Instead, residents are directed to use Paintback collection points or refer to www.paintback.com.au for the nearest drop-off locations.
It is always important to refer to your local council's guidelines and stay informed about any updates or changes to paint disposal regulations in your specific area of Victoria.

Frequently asked questions
First, you need to talk to Victoria and her friends, who are blocking the entrance to the dorm. Then, wait for Samuel, the janitor, to climb the ladder next to them. When he does, a cutscene will be triggered, showing his paint bucket. Rewind so that the bucket is on the floor and Samuel is away from it. Go to the bucket and tamper with it. Once the handle is loosened, the bucket will fall when Samuel hangs it up.
After tampering with the paint bucket, you need to create a diversion to distract Victoria and her friends so that they are standing under the bucket. One way to do this is to tamper with the sprinkler system. Make sure you are timing it right and paying attention to the environment for clues.
After the paint incident, Victoria's friends leave to get her some towels. You can then talk to her. She will be in a less talkative mood, and you can choose to either rub it in or comfort her. Either way, she will allow you to pass, and you can finally enter the dormitories.
