what to do
you can't put them in the normal rubbish
you can't put them in the recycling
you can "recycle" them by letting the contents dry out and take
them to
the
household recycling centre.Â* But I'm not lugging 6 tins there on
the bus
(that's if they'll even let me in when I get there)
so what do you do with the damned things
fly-tip them?

Sometimes people take them when offered free, sometimes not.
Yes, I guessed that
Sometimes such batches can be mixed to make useful paints, just don't
expect to ever get anything to match well later.
I already have enough paint for my required needs.
making new colours from it, isn't going to create a use for it
Oh. Here it does. 1/4 can of some random colour's no use, several cans
all the same nice colour are more useful.
Lesser amounts can be mixed in the can if the result is a nice colour &
offered to charities -
need to black out the manufacturer name.
why?
because it's no longer something they produced.
You can also mix emulsion into cement/sand.
for some specific purpose
or just to get rid of it (the paint that is)
so what does one do with the sand afterwards?
Really?
Flog it on ebay?
With the paint, maybe the current breed of protestors would appreciate
all donations.
Only bright red paint :-)
