Discarding a lot of old paint

[John Collins]

So I got into the garage of a recently vacated property and the tenants left alot of half used paint in there. They took it upon themselves to paint each room a "wild" color without telling me. Anyways, what is the protocol for safely discarding these cans paint? I am in Texas.

In my area the convenience waste disposal place will take these. They have a special area to set these cans of paint.

You can also get stuff at HD that you add to the paint to make it dry solid. It is not hazardous waste once it is a solid.
