What about paint?
We do not accept paint at this event. Thanks to an Oregon law enacted in 2010, there are now local paint stores that will accept your latex and oil-based paints year-round. Go to paintcare.org and enter your zip code to find participating stores in your area. We recommend calling the store to make sure they have room to accept your paint before you visit.
Following safety protocol
All participants will remain in their cars once on site. Trained hazardous waste personnel will come to you and remove the items from your vehicle. Wherever possible, please put your items to be disposed of in your trunk or rear section of your car. Once in the unloading area, please turn off your vehicle and open the trunk or pop the hatch and we'll take care of the rest.
The re-use table puts household hazardous waste to good use
Experienced site chemists will be on hand all day to sort through everything that comes in — setting the "still usable" items on a special table. These carefully chosen, safely packaged items are yours to take, free! Stop by and see what's available!
