Free Recycling Event in Bellingham for Safe Household Paint Disposal
Whatcom County residents and businesses can now safely dispose of old or leftover household paint for free at our upcoming Paint Collection & Recycling Event. The event will take place on Saturday, October 3, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Barkley Village, 2211 Rimland Drive in Bellingham.
The one-day event is open to the public and offers a convenient, eco-friendly way to dispose of unwanted paint products. At last May’s paint drop-off event in Lynden, staff accepted over 97,000 pounds of paint and paint products for recycling.
Attendees can bring a variety of materials, including:
- Latex and oil-based paints
- Acrylic paints
- Urethanes
- Varnishes, shellacs, and lacquers
- Primers and clear coatings
All materials must be in original containers of 5 gallons or smaller. Atcan bring as many containers as they like, and there is no need to dry out the paint before drop-off. Usable paint will be recycled into new latex paint.
Items not accepted include spray paints, marine and auto paints, electronics, household hazardous waste, paint thinner, and driveway sealers.
Attendees are asked to remain in their vehicles to keep the process safe and efficient. Event staff will be on-site to direct traffic and unload all materials.
Pre-registration is encouraged. For more information or to register, please visit the event page.
