Default Disposal of paint

Anyone got any good ideas for losing a quantity of paint?

I need to clear out a garage for someone prior to their house sale. It
seems that over the years they have collected the usual array of part
tins of paint (probably 30 tins or more). I spoke with the local
council, who said it can go in the black sack rubbish, but only if dried
out first! Local skips will take emulsion as long as the tin is well
sealed, but not gloss.


If all else fails, perhaps his neighbours and or yours could put one
tin each in their rubbish bin for a few weeks (or fortnights/two weeks
depending on the whim of your local council).
