I was told to leave the can open to let it dry out, then it can be discarded with the household trash. That's if it is water based latex. Oil based paints must be disposed of through hazardous waste. Conveniently, there is a hazardous waste dropoff coming up August 20 at Lake Sumter south parking lot. There is an article about it in the POA news.
