If you have cans of paint or adhesive that are full or almost full and in good shape, you might be able to donate them to the Habitat for Humanity store, at 21 S. Nevada St. Also a great place to shop for home supply bargains!
If your paint is water-based, it can be placed in regular trash once you either air dry the remnants of the can or fill the can with kitty litter so the contents are absorbed.
For advice on specific items, refer to the “What do I do with?” section of the King County Solid Waste Department here:
