For household paint that hasn't been used in years and you don't want
any longer, how do you " properly " dispose of such paint? If it
matters, I have trash pickup and recycling pickup.

I use such paint for bird houses, garages, attic and storage spaces,
etc. You can sell it at a garage sale for others to use. If any of
these are not appealing, then allow the paint to evaporate, get hard,
and throw it in the trash.
