| Residents of Whatcom County can safely and responsibly dispose of old or leftover household paint at a Free Paint Collection & Recycling Event. The event will take place on Saturday, May 3, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Ferndale High School, located at 5830 Golden Eagle Drive.
The one-day event is open to the public and offers a convenient, eco-friendly way to dispose of unwanted paint products. Attendees can bring a variety of materials, including:
- Latex and oil-based paints
- Acrylic paints
- Urethanes
- Varnishes, shellacs, and lacquers
- Primers and clear coatings
All materials must be in original containers of 5 gallons or smaller. Residents can bring as many containers as they like, and there is no need to dry out the paint before drop-off. Usable paint will be recycled into new latex paint.
Items not accepted include spray paints, marine and auto paints, electronics, household hazardous waste, paint thinner, and driveway sealers.
Attendees are asked to remain in their vehicles to keep the process safe and efficient. Event staff will be on-site to direct traffic and unload all materials.
Pre-registration is encouraged. For more information or to register, please visit the event page.
