The most common way is to simply mix the wet paint with cement and let it dry (this tip is for disposing of 1 gallon of paint, recipe can me adjusted to handle as much as needed). To do this you will need a plastic 5 gal. bucket with a lid, bagged cement, and a sturdy stir stick.
One environmentally friendly solution, if the paint is not usable. Add sawdust, kitty litter, or other absorbent to each can. Let the paint dry up or solidify. Replace the lid. Put it in the household trash for pick up.
