How to get ride of all that extra paint?

This is a question I have to deal with on a regular basis. I just heard a story of a painter dumping all his old paint into a neighbors dumpster. It is extremely important for us to find a soloution to this problem. I have not found a solution that I am fully satisfied with yet. These are some of the ways that I am working towar an solution.

  1. We try to buy a little less than I think I need at the start and adjust quantities based on how much paint is being used.
  2. We keep extra paint at our customers home so that we can use it later for touch up.

  3. We remove all primer, clear coating, and other commonly used products so that we can use the extra on the next project.
  4. I have donated extra paint to my Local Habitat for Humanity and a local YMCA. (Churches, and other community centres are also good options)
I would like find way to recycle paint.
