Disposal Suggestions
Use your leftover paint on something else.
Give it to someone else to use.
Use our hardener additive — available at our paint counter — and then throw it in the trash.
Open the can and let it dry out on its own (1/4 can or less)
Oil/Alkyd based paints may be taken to the hazardous waste. Latex paint and latex paint stains are no longer considered hazardous waste. If latex paint/stain cannot be used up or given away, it may be disposed of in the garbage if it is dried up. Liquids are not allowed in the garbage.
North Seattle: 206-296-4692, by appointment only.
South Seattle: Thu, Fri, Sat 10am - 4pm, no appointment necessary.
More info (including all other disposal items)

For City of Seattle residents, unused pesticides are considered a household hazardous waste. To dispose of them either use up as directed (provided the products are still currently registered) or dispose of at a hazardous waste collection facility.
Disposal down the drain or in the trash is illegal in Washington State.
Pesticides generated by small businesses are not eligible for disposal at the household hazardous waste sites. For information on hazardous waste disposal for small businesses, call the Business Waste Line at 296-3976, or visit the Business Waste Web site
