Tillamook County household hazardous waste collection days (Tillamook Transfer Station)
1315 Ekloff Rd, Tillamook, OR 97141
- Accepts
- Latex and oil-based paint and stain, plus thinners and solvents, aerosol spray products, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive fluids, batteries, propane bottles, fluorescent bulbs, mercury items and fire extinguishers. Clean, white, blocky Styrofoam is also taken on these days.
- Who can use it
- Tillamook County residents; no appointment needed. Very small businesses (the county calls them CEG: under 220 pounds of hazardous waste a month) must send the registration form to CleanEarth and get an appointment first.
- Hours
- Collection days only, on set Saturdays, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. The county’s notice confirmed Saturday, October 10, 2026, which has passed. The county’s collection page still shows its 2025 schedule. The next date we found, Saturday, December 12, comes only from PaintCare’s listing. PaintCare also lists business appointments on Friday, December 11. Call the Solid Waste office (Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m.) to confirm before you go.
- Load limits
- PaintCare lists a limit of 20 gallons of paint per visit, in containers up to 5 gallons; the county’s page doesn’t give a limit. No empty, leaking or unlabeled containers (PaintCare). The county asks you to dump any regular garbage before you arrive.
- Fees
- There is no charge to drop off PaintCare paint, and the county doesn’t list a charge for households. Businesses pay what the county’s contractor, CleanEarth, charges. CleanEarth sends a cost estimate with your appointment, sets the final amount at drop-off, and you pay then.
No ammunition, explosives, sharps or medicines. The county lists hazardous waste drop-off only on collection days. The business form posted online is titled 2024 and lists 2024 dates. In 2025 the county held business appointments on the Saturday collection days, but PaintCare lists the 2026 ones on Fridays. Ask the office which is right.

Which option fits your Tillamook cleanout?5
You have two gallons of leftover wall paint
Take the labeled cans to the ReStore on Highway 101 North. It’s a PaintCare drop-off with a 5-gallon limit per visit. The ReStore doesn’t post hours online, so call 503-377-0204 first.
You’re clearing out a shed with paint, thinner and spray cans
Save it all for the county’s hazardous waste day at the Ekloff Road transfer station, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. PaintCare lists the next one as December 12; call the county to confirm. PaintCare lists a 20-gallon paint limit. Keep everything in labeled cans, and drop off any trash first.
You live in north Tillamook County
The county says its Manzanita station serves the north end of the county. Use it instead of driving to Tillamook. It takes up to 20 gallons of house paint per visit, plus empty cans. It’s closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Mondays from January through March.
You run a small painting business
Latex paint can go to any PaintCare drop-off. For oil-based paint and other chemicals, register as a very small business with CleanEarth, the county’s contractor, and book a business slot. PaintCare lists Friday, December 11 as the next business day; the county hasn’t posted 2026 business dates. CleanEarth quotes from your list, and you pay at drop-off.
You need paint for a fence or shed
Buy Tillamook County’s recycled latex paint: $24 for 3½ gallons in seven colors, at the ReStore, Manzanita, Pacific City or the Marolf Loop office by appointment.
Tillamook rules and tips5
THE LOCAL ANSWER
For up to 5 gallons, take labeled cans to the Habitat ReStore at 4192 Hwy 101 N; call 503-377-0204 for hours. For more paint, or for thinner and spray cans, wait for the county’s hazardous waste day at 1315 Ekloff Rd, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. PaintCare lists the next one as Saturday, December 12; the county hasn’t posted it yet, so call 503-815-3975. The October 10 day has passed.
In Tillamook, Oregon, leftover paint goes to one of two places. For a small amount, use the Habitat ReStore on Highway 101 north of town, a PaintCare drop-off. For a garage full, or for thinner and spray cans, wait for a Tillamook County household hazardous waste day at the Tillamook Transfer Station on Ekloff Road. Those Saturdays happen about every other month, so plan ahead.
Small loads: the ReStore. Big loads: wait for a Saturday
Tillamook has no everyday drop-off for more than 5 gallons in town. The ReStore takes 5 gallons per visit. Anything more, plus spray cans and thinner, waits for a county collection Saturday, unless you drive to Manzanita, which takes 20 gallons.
Collection days are Saturday mornings only
The Ekloff Road hazardous waste site opens 9 a.m.–1 p.m. on set Saturdays, not every day. The county’s web page still shows 2025 dates. Saturday, December 12 is on PaintCare’s list but not yet on the county’s. Call 503-815-3975 to confirm before you load up.
Use Manzanita if you live up north
The county runs satellite transfer stations for the north and south ends of the county. The Manzanita station on Necarney City Road takes up to 20 gallons of house paint per visit, Thursday through Sunday (and Mondays from April through December). It even takes empty paint cans.
Buy back recycled paint
Tillamook County sells recycled latex paint in seven colors for $24 per 3½ gallons. Find it at the ReStore, the Manzanita station, the Pacific City station, or the Solid Waste office at 503 Marolf Loop (by appointment).
Pacific City’s station changed its days
The county says the Pacific City Transfer Station now takes garbage only on Saturdays and Sundays, and recycling moved to Cloverdale Public Works. The county doesn’t list Pacific City as a paint drop-off. In the south county, check PaintCare’s locator for Pacific City True Value.
Free pickup programs and other options
If you have 100 gallons or more, PaintCare will pick it up for free; request it at View program details ↗ . Good, usable paint can also go to someone who will use it. For anything that isn’t house paint (spray cans, thinner, pesticides), the county’s hazardous waste day is the only local option. Questions go to Tillamook County Solid Waste at 503-815-3975.
Getting your paint ready
Keep paint in its original labeled cans with tight lids, 5 gallons or smaller. Leave empty and leaking cans at home unless you’re going to Manzanita, which takes empties. On a hazardous waste day, drop off any regular garbage first, then join the line with only hazardous items. Bring your white block Styrofoam too; it’s taken that day.
Full preparation checklist →Tillamook questions5
When is the next hazardous waste day in Tillamook County?
PaintCare lists Saturday, December 12, 9 a.m.–1 p.m., at 1315 Ekloff Rd. That date comes only from PaintCare; the county’s own page still shows last year’s dates. The October 10 collection has passed. Call 503-815-3975 to confirm.
Can I drop off paint at the Tillamook Transfer Station on a regular day?
The county only lists hazardous waste collection on its scheduled Saturdays. On other days, take house paint to the ReStore or the Manzanita station instead.
How much paint can I bring?
PaintCare lists 20 gallons per visit at the county collection and at Manzanita, and 5 gallons per visit at the ReStore. The county itself doesn’t post a limit. For 100 gallons or more, ask PaintCare for a free pickup.
Can my business use the county collection day?
Only very small businesses, and only with an appointment. Send the county’s business form to CleanEarth, the contractor, and you’ll get a time and a price. You pay at drop-off.
Does the county take spray paint?
Yes, on hazardous waste days. Aerosol spray products are on the county’s list. The ReStore and Manzanita don’t take spray cans.
Sources and how we checked12
October 13, 2026: read Tillamook County Solid Waste’s Hazardous Waste Collection, Solid Waste Administration, Transfer Stations, Recycling and Latex Paint pages, the county’s hazardous item list and business (CEG) form, the Tillamook Habitat ReStore page, and PaintCare’s Oregon page and locator data. Peer review the same day: the county’s collection page still lists 2025 dates; its notice confirmed the October 10, 2026 collection (now past). The December 12 and December 11 dates and the 20-gallon limit come only from PaintCare. Unresolved: the ReStore’s hours; whether the Tillamook Transfer Station takes any paint on regular days (no source says it does); whether 2026 business days are Fridays (PaintCare) or the Saturday collection days (as in 2025); whether the Pacific City station still sells recycled paint after its schedule change; the current business form (the one posted is titled 2024).
Checked October 13, 2026 against these sources, not by phone. How we research.
