UptownGirl :
You can add cat litter to them to dry out the paint and dispose in your trash bin.

Are you talking spray paint or paint cans that can be opened?....

UptownGirl :
Let the paint dry completely in the can. It will be solid then. You can put it in your regular bagged trash. I seriously doubt they are going to start opening every bag to check and I've heard of other people getting away with much worse. Now if it is a oil paint cleaning product or extender, I would take that to the place they have for hazmat.

UptownGirl : In that case just dump the paint into an old milk jug and throw the milk jug and the now empty cans in the trash....

UptownGirl :
I have successfully thrown them away in my regular trash (also Best Trash).I open the can and mix in some of the cheapest kitty litter I can find.
Stir it and let it dry (the kitty litter absorbs the paint and drys fairly quickly (depending on how much paint is in the can). Once dry leave the lid off and throw it away with your regular trash. I've never had any problems with Best using this method.

UptownGirl :
Yes I agree.
I get the cheapest bag from wherever. The left over can be donated to a friend or shelter (I personally keep it on hand in the garage to throw on oil spills etc).

Dump all paint in one can, trash empty ones. If you ever need to paint something for fun or kids need paint for a project, you have paint to use. I've done it. Most of the paint colors had been neutral and blended well together. Used the paint for a homecoming float a while back, I didn't have to buy any, it's expensive 😳

UptownGirl : Best thing to do is bury them behind the garage

Guys if yall need cat litter to put in paint cans yall can get my used cat litter for free. It does the trick very well.

Chow : Sounds like a bit of work; effective though. I take paint cans and buckets to our country place and throw them on a good hot fire.

buffaloglenn : I prefer to burn them when I burn tires because it kinda masks the paint smell but I only burn tires like once a year

GiggleMugs : That's how I've gotten rid of ours. Cat litter until the paint dries out, then in a garbage bag for the trash man to pick up. I've done this for both latex and oil-based paints.
