Which option fits your Klamath Falls cleanout?3
Several recycling errands at once
Choose stops by material. The city lists the landfill for some electronics and glass but sends paint to the South 6th Street store. Keep stops separate so you don’t bring liquid to a site that won’t take it.
A contractor’s leftover oil paint
Tell the store it’s business paint. PaintCare takes business oil paint only from very small businesses, not based on how few cans you have. Business water-based paint has other rules. Oil paint from a business that doesn’t qualify goes elsewhere.
Old painted building material
Debris with lead paint or asbestos follows the county’s demolition rules, not the paint store. The county lists forms needed before landfill disposal. Don’t mix chips or solvents into liquid paint.
Klamath Falls rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Call the city-listed Sherwin-Williams, 4525 S 6th Street, for house paint. It’s open Sundays, but check for space before loading.
The city sends paint to Sherwin-Williams on South 6th Street. That store is separate from the county landfill and the nearby recycling sites.
Go where the city sends paint
The city’s recycling list names Sherwin-Williams for paint. It sends other materials to Old Fort Road and Greensprings Drive, which doesn’t mean they take paint.
Keep remodel debris separate
Painted lumber, scraped-off paint and demolition waste aren’t leftover house paint. The county needs paperwork for asbestos and lead-painted debris; ask before hauling.
Free pickup programs and other options
For a lot of house paint, request PaintCare pickup at View program details ↗ . For thinner, spray paint or unknown chemicals, call county Solid Waste at 541-883-5121 option 7.
Getting your paint ready
Count cans and note label details. Keep good cans sealed and upright. Ask about damaged or unlabeled cans before moving them.
Full preparation checklist →Klamath Falls questions2
Can I drop paint at 305 Main Street?
No. That’s the county Solid Waste office, not a drop-off. Use the store listed here.
If the store’s open Sunday, will it take paint?
Not for sure. Call about space, your products and amount.
