Goodbye, Ol’ Paint

Jordan Jordan April 27, 2010 6 Comments

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.

    Flyer says April 22 – 24, but have they extended the date?  Thanks.

    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.
