While doing work around the house, I found myself in the middle of another task.
One thing we've managed to collect in this house is old paint.
When you paint a room, you think "I'll save one can of this extra paint, for touch-ups". I don't know how realistic that is - I can't think of a time when we've touched up a room, at least beyond the first week after painting it.
Anyway, the collection was quite... extensive.
Some of the paint was clearly in bad shape, and that I'll get rid of.
However, there are many cans of paint in various colors that might be useful, just not to me. Perhaps you want to paint a wooden box to be a play prop for a kid. Or you are in a theater group, and want to paint props there.
If you have an interest in taking this paint off my hands, let me know.

You can get rid of the paint at one of the periodic Bellevue recycling days. If it's latex, they take it and blend together colors that are close, and then basically give it away.
If you don't want to do that and it's latex, you can just leave the top off and let it dry out, and throw it away.

Good tip, Eric. I knew they'd take it, but I assumed it ended up in a landfill. The fact that it gets reused is important to me.
