Which option fits your Wenatchee cleanout?3
You live across the river in East Wenatchee
Chelan's site asks for ID showing you live in Chelan County. East Wenatchee sends its residents to Douglas County. Check where you live before assuming a Wenatchee-area address lets you use Chelan's site.
You're bringing fifteen old one-gallon cans
The latex limit is 50 gallons per visit, so you're under it. Each can must not leak and be five gallons or smaller. The latex rule doesn't say how much oil paint you can bring.
You want someone else to use your leftover paint
Chelan puts good latex on a free reuse shelf. Tell the staff your paint may still be usable. A regular transfer station won't do this; the county site checks whether it can be reused.
Wenatchee rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Chelan County residents can use the Highway 97A site with ID. It's free for households; the $10 donation is optional. You can bring up to 50 gallons of latex per visit, with no container over five gallons.
Chelan County's site north of Wenatchee takes latex and oil paint all year. Which county you live in matters if you're coming from across the river.
Bring ID
The county asks households to show they live in Chelan County. East Wenatchee is in a different county, so check which program is yours before you drive.
Just paint, or other chemicals too?
For latex only, the county also names Stan's Merry Mart at 733 S. Wenatchee Avenue. Call the store about drop-off. If you also have solvents or spray paint, use the county site.
Free pickup programs and other options
Small businesses can ask for a paid appointment. Free household drop-off doesn't replace business approval.
Getting your paint ready
Pack cans that don't leak upright in boxes. Remain in the vehicle; staff do the unloading.
Full preparation checklist →Wenatchee questions2
Do I have to pay the $10?
No. The county calls it a suggested donation and says household drop-off is free.
Can I come any Saturday?
No. Only on first Saturdays, with some holiday changes.
Sources and how we checked6
Ask directly about the oil paint limit and options for people outside the county. Donated paint may not be good enough for reuse.
