Which option fits your Astoria cleanout?3
You only have labeled paint and wood finishes
Clatsop County lists City Lumber, 2142 Commercial Street, 503-325-4511, for paint, stain, lacquer, varnish, sealers and deck finishes. Call for hours and amounts. That saves holding paint for event days, leaving the event for what stores can’t take.
You have solvent or boat-care products
Name the products; don’t just say “paint.” A store’s house paint program doesn’t cover boat paint or solvents. The county event takes flammable solvents and gasoline; ask Environmental Health about anything unusual first. Drop-off is on Williamsport Road beside Recology, not the county office.
You missed the last 2026 event, or have business waste
2026 dates end October 17; 2027 dates weren’t out as of October 2026. For house paint, also try county-listed Sherwin-Williams, 3527 Highway 101 N, Gearhart, 503-738-6751. For other chemicals or business waste, ask the county; don’t show up at the event site on a garbage day.
Astoria rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
For regular paint, call City Lumber on Commercial Street. For mixed chemicals, Clatsop County’s last 2026 event is October 17, 2026, 9 am–2 pm, at 1780 Williamsport Road. Then watch the county calendar for 2027.
Clatsop County takes household hazardous waste only on set Saturdays at Williamsport Road. The last 2026 date is Saturday, October 17, 2026; 2027 dates weren’t out as of October 2026. For regular paint, a store saves the wait.
Go to Williamsport Road on event day
The county office on Exchange Street is just an office. Drop-off is beside Recology at Williamsport.
Save the event for chemicals stores won’t take
The county also lists City Lumber on Commercial Street for paint. For labeled paint or stain only, call to check it’s taking paint.
Free pickup programs and other options
Try a PaintCare store for everyday cans. After the last 2026 event, call county Environmental Health at 503-325-9302 for 2027 dates or another option.
Getting your paint ready
Keep products in original containers. If you don’t know what something is, say so; don’t guess. Call about leaks or oversized cans.
