Which option fits your Port Angeles cleanout?3
You have oil paint and spray paint
They go to different places. Oil house paint goes to a PaintCare store. Stores won't take spray cans. The Port Angeles hazardous waste site takes household spray paint on Saturdays, 11–4.
You have a two-part garage floor coating
PaintCare doesn't take two-part coatings, even from a home. Call the hazardous waste site at 360-417-4873 about your exact product before you drive. Don't mix the resin and hardener to make it look like paint.
The waste is from your business
The Port Angeles hazardous waste site doesn't take business waste. PaintCare may take your business's house paint. Solvents, industrial coatings and other items need a separate business option.
Port Angeles rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Bring house paint to Hartnagel or another PaintCare store. Clallam County no longer takes regular oil paint at its hazardous waste site. That site, open Saturdays, takes things stores won't, like spray paint and solvents.
In Port Angeles, take regular canned house paint to a PaintCare store. The hazardous waste area at the transfer station is for solvents and spray paint.
Canned oil paint now goes to stores
Clallam County says its hazardous waste site no longer takes oil-based paint. Hartnagel is one of the PaintCare stores the county names.
Two places, two schedules
Hartnagel is open weekdays and Saturday. The hazardous waste site is open Saturday afternoon, weather permitting. A chemical cleanout may take two stops.
Free pickup programs and other options
Businesses can ask PaintCare if it will take their house paint. They can't bring other business chemicals to the household hazardous waste site.
Getting your paint ready
Keep labels on and lids tight on cans you recycle. Ask hazardous waste staff about damaged or unknown containers before you bring them.
Full preparation checklist →Port Angeles questions2
Can I take oil paint to the transfer station?
No. The county sends it to PaintCare stores instead.
Where does spray paint go?
To the city's hazardous waste site on Saturdays. PaintCare stores don't take it.
Sources and how we checked6
Check with stores about how much they take each day. The county's general list doesn't mean every specialty coating is taken without a check.
