Which option fits your Yakima cleanout?3
Your cans came from paid painting jobs
Call 509-574-2450 or 509-574-2472 for a business appointment. Yakima takes waste from qualifying small businesses with no disposal fee. Don't just drive in as a household instead.
You're clearing out a farm shop
The site doesn't take farm waste. Keep farm products out of your household paint load and ask the county where they go. Living nearby doesn't change where the waste came from.
You need cheap paint for a project
The Ready to Reuse area outside the site may have paint, stain and primer. Bring photo ID showing you live in Yakima County. Stock depends on drop-offs, so no color or amount is promised.
Yakima rules and tips2
THE LOCAL ANSWER
The Terrace Heights site takes paint and related chemicals from households and small businesses. Approved small businesses can book a free appointment. Farm waste isn't taken, even in small amounts.
Yakima County's Terrace Heights site takes household cleanouts and waste from qualifying small businesses. Farm waste goes somewhere else.
Call ahead for a business load
The county has a free small-business program, but businesses must book before bringing anything. Tell staff whether the paint is latex, oil or a specialty coating.
Good paint can be reused
The county's Ready to Reuse program gives away usable products, including paint, stain and primer. Ask staff if your good leftovers can go there. Not every can gets made into new paint.
Free pickup programs and other options
The county also lists a drop-off area at Cheyne Landfill in Zillah. Check its rules before choosing it over Terrace Heights. The Terrace Heights site doesn't take farm products.
Getting your paint ready
Bring a list of product names and sizes, and say whether each came from a home, business or farm.
