Which option fits your Moses Lake cleanout?3
You have old paint and a box of spray cans
County household events take paint, stain and aerosols; stores won't take spray paint. The 2026 Moses Lake event is October 24, the last listed this year. After that, hold the aerosols until the county posts its spring event. Use original, non-leaking containers of 5 gallons or less.
You have more than 10 gallons of paint
The Yonezawa store takes 10 gallons per weekly visit, per the county. County events have allowed 30 gallons of paint and stain per vehicle (October 24, 2026 flyer), if there's space. For 100 gallons or more, ask PaintCare about pickup. Don't assume several store trips in one day are OK.
The cans came from apartment upkeep
Grant's household event doesn't take waste from businesses, agencies or apartment maintenance. Call 509-754-6082 for the separate option. A landlord or maintenance crew can't use the household event just because the work was in homes.
Moses Lake rules and tips3
THE LOCAL ANSWER
For regular paint, the county lists Sherwin-Williams on Yonezawa Boulevard. Thinner and aerosols go to a Grant County event. The last 2026 event in Moses Lake is Saturday, October 24, 9–2, at 12171 Wheeler Road, with a 30-gallon paint/stain limit. 2027 dates weren't posted as of October 6, 2026.
In Moses Lake, a paint store listed by the county takes small paint-only loads all year. Other household hazardous waste may have to wait for a county collection event.
The store has a weekly limit; events have their own
The county lists 10 gallons per weekly visit at the Yonezawa store. Check with the store before bringing leftovers from several projects.
Check the county event calendar
Grant County holds collections now and then and posts limits for each date. Don't show up at a road shop outside an event.
Liquid latex can go to the Ephrata Landfill
Grant County says you can take household amounts of liquid latex to the Ephrata Landfill. Dried latex with the lid off can go in the garbage. Oil-based paint must go to a county event or PaintCare.
Free pickup programs and other options
At some events, Grant County offers paid disposal for small businesses. Register at least one week ahead. Businesses can't use the household line without approval.
Getting your paint ready
Keep original labels on. Keep aerosols and thinner apart from paint going to the store.
Full preparation checklist →Moses Lake questions3
Can I bring spray paint to the store?
No. Take it to a county hazardous waste event.
Does the city run the hazardous waste events?
No. Moses Lake sends residents to Grant County and says the city doesn't run the events.
When is the next Grant County collection after October 24, 2026?
Not posted as of October 6, 2026. The county says it holds two or three Saturday events a year, in spring and fall, mostly in Moses Lake and Ephrata.
