It was super easy to drop off my household hazardous waste. Simply drive to the center, wait in line (in your car), and open your trunk when you get to the front of the line. They'll take all the paints, electronics, etc... from the trunk. Check the website ahead of time to see what items they'll take.

Writing this review will take longer than it took to drop off household waste today, literally. I pulled in, confirmed my eligibility to use this service, and popped the hatch on my car. A friendly attendant took three boxes I had packed with paint thinner, wood stain, and other garage odds-and-ends, then closed the hatch. Done. Three minutes, tops. Clean out YOUR garage, and get rid of those half-empty cans and bottles you weren't sure what to do with; it's quick, convenient, and free! There is a limit, but it's quite generous and detailed on the Web site. I visited after 1 pm on a Thursday and the Google wait time notice was quite accurate.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How much for about 8 gal of paint

Ken Anderson | Aug 21, 2018
M Hunt | Aug 21, 2018

They don't charge to drop off paint, nor do they pay. Not sure which you're asking. They accept paint from OC residents free of charge and they have a paint exchange program where you can take up to 5 items per week, also free of charge. Hope this helps.

michael WOLF | Aug 21, 2018
M Hunt | Aug 21, 2018

You can, but there are other possibly better options. If you call a local office supply store (ie Staples or Office Depot) they may take it and offer you a credit. Or even maybe the manufacturer of the printer/cartridges. As a side note, if the ink is completely dry/empty, and you don't want to call around, it's just regular trash and won't need to be dropped off here.
