How do we get rid of a dozen -assorted types and sizes- cans of paint?
We found a lot of cans left behind by the previous owners of this house. It's all old, and yes we took a look to see if it was still usable. It isn't, what might be of use is too little to be worthwhile.
Does anyone have any info?

PG,
If it is latex, pop the lids and throw in some kitty litter until hard. Throw in regular trash with lids off.
Oil has to be taked to a drop site.
