Many cities and/or counties have collection days. You bring in your items that cannot normally be thrown out, such as extra paint, motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, paint thinner, etc.
If you allow extra paint to thoroughly dry out, you can throw it.
Some hardware stores collect fluorescent bulbs.
Some oil change places accept used motor oil.
