Which option fits your Medford cleanout?3
You only have leftover wall paint or stain
Call Drake’s Medford at 541-773-3335 with your can count and sizes, not a guess at gallons left. PaintCare lists 5 gallons per visit, free. Cans need original labels and good lids. No thinner, spray paint or many specialty finishes.
You found paint remover next to the paint
Rogue Disposal’s past May 2, 2026 event took paint remover but not paint, per Medford Water. That split holds year-round: paint to a store, then call Rogue at 541-779-4161 about the next chemical event. A past event isn’t an appointment.
Your cleanout includes work supplies
Keep work chemicals apart from household ones. The May 2026 event took no business or industrial waste; future rules need rechecking. Ask PaintCare if business house paint qualifies, and Rogue about business disposal of thinners or industrial coatings.
Medford rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Drake’s at 2929 North Pacific Highway takes house paint for PaintCare, 5 gallons per visit. Paint removers and other chemicals go elsewhere: Rogue Disposal’s May 2, 2026 event took no paint and has passed, and no 2027 date was out as of October 2026.
Medford residents don’t have to wait for the yearly hazardous waste event to drop off house paint. Drake’s North Medford store on North Pacific Highway is on PaintCare’s list as a year-round drop-off.
Split paint from painting chemicals
Ask the store about labeled house paint. Save thinners and spray cans for the city’s hazardous waste option.
The transfer station doesn’t take chemicals daily
Medford says Rogue Disposal holds one hazardous waste event a year, usually early May. Call Rogue at 541-779-4161 for the next date and rules.
Free pickup programs and other options
If Drake’s is full, check PaintCare’s map. Give clean, usable paint to someone who needs that color and type.
Getting your paint ready
Call with your can count and sizes. Keep labels showing and lids tight. Don’t combine leftovers.
Full preparation checklist →Medford questions2
Is the city’s May event my only paint option?
No. A PaintCare store like Drake’s North Medford takes house paint year-round.
Can I bring spray paint to Drake’s?
No. PaintCare doesn’t take spray paint. Ask Rogue Disposal about its next event.
