Which option fits your Ashland cleanout?3
You finish painting on Sunday
Ashland General Hardware is open Sunday; Miller isn’t. Recology lists the hardware store for paint but says call first. Check your product and space; don’t arrive unannounced with a truckload.
You’re already hauling to Valley View
Set paint aside for a store stop. Recology says Valley View takes no paint and names the two stores. Taking batteries or motor oil doesn’t mean it takes every garage liquid.
Your remodeling business has old paint to clear
Water-based house paint can go to PaintCare. Business oil paint qualifies only from very small businesses. For a big load, request pickup and let PaintCare assess it. Keep paint scraps, solvent and industrial coatings out; they need separate handling.
Ashland rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Call Miller Paint on Ashland Street or Ashland General Hardware on A Street for leftover latex and oil house paint. Recology lists both; Valley View takes no paint.
In Ashland, paint goes to PaintCare stores. Recology’s Valley View Transfer Station doesn’t take it, and the recycling center’s new packaging bins don’t change that.
Compare the two stores’ hours
Miller is closed Sundays. Ashland General Hardware opens Sundays and stays later Saturday, but still call ahead about paint.
Keep chemical cleanup separate
Recology says Valley View can’t take most hazardous waste, with a few exceptions. Paint, solvent and specialty coatings need the right store or chemical service.
Free pickup programs and other options
For chemicals stores won’t take, ask Recology about regional collection events and current options. For 100+ gallons by can size, request free PaintCare pickup at View program details ↗ .
Getting your paint ready
Keep original cans and labels. Separate house paint from thinner, spray paint and industrial products. Call before bringing damaged cans or a business’s oil paint.
Full preparation checklist →Ashland questions2
Can Valley View take paint with a trash load?
No. Recology lists paint as not taken there and sends it to local stores.
Does the Water Street RecycleOn center take buckets with paint in them?
No. The city’s flyer bans containers that held hazardous materials. Take paint to a store that takes it.
Sources and how we checked9
The local garbage company lists both stores, but neither posts its space. No later 2026 regional hazardous waste event is promised.
