Goodbye, Ol’ Paint

  • Post author:

Nah, we’re not knocking off horses, we’re just suggesting that you, like us, may have some old cans of unwanted paint in your basement somewhere, cluttering things up. You want to throw them away, but know you shouldn’t. You want to donate them, but it’s kind of a hassle. Maybe you’ll use them someday for a project with your kid. Maybe someday you’ll have a kid.

In honor of Earth Day, the fine folks at Reed Painting Company will come to your place and pick up up to 20 gallons for a mere $20 (or you can drop them off at their shop for a buck a gallon, no minimum) this coming weekend only (and last weekend, but you missed that already). Read all about it in their flier to the right.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    What time can we drop them off from?

    And, of course, if it’s just latex paint, you can take off the lid until it dries out, then throw it out (with the blessings of SPU) in your garbage!

    And it’s oil-based then you can take it to the hazardous waste disposal sites, last time I checked it was FREE
    Take oil-based paint products to the Seattle- north, Seattle – south, Factoria, Wastemobile, or the Auburn SuperMall household hazardous waste facilities for disposal. Call the Household Hazards Line (206-296-4692) with questions. Latex paint is not accepted at the household hazardous waste facilities. Dry out latex paint and dispose of the can in the garbage with the lid off.
