I remember paying $10 a gallon too. That was not this year though.

In addition to inflation, paint and paint making has many more
regulations than it did a few years back. VOCs can be expensive to get
rid of.

Soon, we will be paying for paint can and paint leftovers being
properly disposed of. You will pay it up front with the paint
purchase. Last price I hears was 50¢ a gallon.

Our trash folks are picky about paint cans. The cans have to opened
and dried solid (almost) before the will take them. There is a local
recycle place where paint can be taken. I think the city mixes some
together for colors to cover graffiti.

So in my bill I already pay for can and paint disposal, but not
itemized

And check your "gallon" carefully and you might find it is not a gallon
anymore!!! As is the case with ice cream, pound cans of tomatoes, etc.

Not exactly. Truth in labeling laws require that manufacturers show the exact
volume of paint containers. If you buy a "gallon" of paint that can be used as a
tint base, it will likely be less than a gallon on the label.
