We had a bunch of paint at our house, and we decided to finally get rid of it.  We knew there were hazardous waste drop-off locations for electronics, but we weren't sure about disposing of liquids.

To our very pleasant surprise, we found out about Clean Harbors. (Phone: 1-800-444-4244)  They have signed agreements with Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and San Marcos (I think). Just call the number, and they will come pick it up.  If you have the standard amount, up to 15 gallons of paint, they charge $10 in Encinitas (prices may vary in other city jurisdictions due to the contract that they have).  We had more than that, so we had to pay $20, but they took it all away and disposed of it properly!

This was great!  Highly Recommended if you need to get rid of some hazardous waste.

That's nice that your community does that.  I just try and use up the paint, and not have more than a few colors at a time.  I painted a bathroom today in fact.
