Local refuse centre/tip tend to take old paint. If it's not glossy then it sounds like satinwood.

Since the paint that you have is gloss, it would make a bad undercoat. gloss paint or even semi-gloss paint is hard to paint over unless you sand it to "rough " it up a little. If the paint were a flat latex then it would work well as an undercoat or primer. My best suggestion is to use the remaining stuff to paint the dog's house or the ceiling in the attic, garage or basement. I'm sorry about the waste, but, when buying paint, it's always better to have more than needed than not having enough. Most big hardware stores have a disposal fascility for items like this.

yes it could but would have a gloss base ,which would be hard for another gloss to go over it,(stick to it)
