Oil based paint recycling / disposal

Does anyone know how/where I can dispose of 6 or 7 gallons of oil based paint? The mega-recycling place on westpark doesn't take oil based paint. This is their ridiculous suggestion:

Oil-based paint or paint that has the word "alkyd" on the label should be used up until none is left. This can be done by painting old boards or newspapers in a well-ventilated place. Then the painted wood and newspapers can go into the trash along with the empty can.

How can a sophisticated city like Houston not have a program for this?

Anyone want it?

If you have a friend that lives in Pearland, their recycling center will take oil-based paints
