1. Tough call, available services vary by location.

In some parts of California, for example, waste disposal services might take them all and do the right thing.

Some cities might allow donation to shelters.

In no event should they go into the sewer or storm drain.

In most cases, however, it's probably best to dump them in a landfill, unless they are petroleum or solvent based, in which case they present a special hazard.

Good on you for wanting to know and wanting to recycle the containers, at least.
