These folks are friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is a free service to residents of King County, Including Seattle residents. So that our bad stuff does not go in the landfill or into our water. Note that they no longer except latex paint. They will explain to you how to dry it out so you can put it in your trash.

Such a valuable and easy-to-use service: you drive up, they remove your hazardous waste items from your vehicle, you pay any fees and you're done. The hardest part is remembering they're only open Sunday through Tuesday.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

John Stromberg | Aug 12, 2022

David, yes Happy Hauler. Takes fluorescent lighting. We take the fixtures, we only charge extra for the fluorescent lights themselves. We typically recycle them at "Batteries plus Bulbs" They have a deal with the city for recycling these. The will take 10 a day for free, from anyone. However being a hauling company. Sometimes i'll come in with 1000 linear feet of lighting. They charge $.20 per ft for anyrhing beyond that. To enthuse proper recycling we keep it as affordable as possible and charge no upcharge. Only the exact cost that it costs us.

How do you dispose of old acrylic paint cans?

Susan Feeney | Aug 11, 2022
Nathan Hart | Aug 12, 2022

If there is liquid paint in them, dry it by letting it sit open for an extended period of time, or by mixing with a solid (saw dust, kitty litter, or paint hardener available at a hardware store). If there is no free liquid, it can be disposed of to solid waste. 2nd use or some paint companies will take donations of liquid acrylic paints, although some charge a fee.

Do you take latex paint?

Tanya Donohue | Aug 11, 2022
Nathan Hart | Aug 12, 2022

They do not take latex paint. It can be dried and disposed of to solid waste, or you can pay for disposal at some paint companies or 2nd use stores. You can dry with air, or by mixing with either a paint dry catalyst or kitty litter. You can put it in solid waste once there is no free liquid.

It's become apparent that I need to start using Merv 13 filters in my HVAC and replace them every 90 days. However, when I change them I'm left with a used filter that's too large to fit in the garbage can. Is this hazardous waste?

Chuck Pliske | Aug 11, 2022
Brian | Aug 12, 2022

can't you put them in a garbage bag, tie it shut then compress the filter to fit in your garbage can? This is what I do with my large filters that won't fit in my 20gal can.
