Paint disposal

The previous owner of my house left loads of tins of paint behind and I need to know the best and safest way to dispose of them please?

Sorry-cannot use them -colours are far too vile:o

    I took my 'bequest' to the local tip (sorry - household Recycling plant).

    Mine does - but you have to pay for some of the services. Your local council will have a website - have a browse under either rubbish collection, or disposal of er, iffy, household waste, or re-cycling. Failing all that just email them at whatever contact looks most likely on their site.
