I have used this product. It will dry latex paint in the can in a matter of hours.
The little logo at the end of vj's post (post #4) )is a convenient link to buy it on Amazon.

I have also used clay-based kitty litter. They recommend dumping the ball out of the can when it has dried.
ALSO, the paint can must be open or they won't take it. Toss the lid in the garbage separately.
Donating good, almost full cans is always a great idea.
