    I researched paint disposal (Metro or PaintCare) and electronic disposal (Oregon E cycles) collection locations on line.  There are many electronic E cycles locations near my home (recycle up to 7 at a time!), and recycling items like paint are also not too far way.  The E cycle appears to be free; the paint recycle seems to have a cost involved.
