Washing the roller sends something like 1/2 quart of good paint
down the drain. Wrap the sleeve and stick it in the freezer. It'll
keep for years. Next time you need the same color, or you need to
touch up, just pull out the roller and thaw it.

In any case, you should be squeezing all that excess paint back into the can
with a painter's tool before disposing of anyway.
