Paint disposal

[mamatimes3]

Anyone know where to dispose of old paint? The south transfer station used to take them, but the website shows they don’t take it anymore and doesn’t say where to take it.

They’ve only stopped accepting latex based paint. They now say you can let it dry in the can or put kitty litter in it to solidify it and put it in the garbage.

If it’s an -oil- based paint (check the label) the Wastemobile and hazardous waste facility in Factoria will still accept it.

Thanks, MargL. I just couldn’t find the right link on the King County page.

Yeah – it looks like King Co. just changed some URLs for their site so it took a little poking around to find a link that worked :-)

Depending on the quantity you have left, you might see if it’s worth it to post it here: http://www.govlink.org/hazwaste/business/imex/
