Properly Dispose of Paint

Latex paint may be discarded in trash, but it needs to be dried out first.  If you have a small amount of paint residue, you can dry it out by leaving it in the sun.  For larger quantities of paint, you can use kitty litter or a commercial paint hardener to dry it out.  Oil paint cannot be disposed of in the trash, so you'll need to find a disposal or drop-off site using the following tools.
