Kitsap County WA Homeowner Helper: Dealing with Paint Disposal Problems

Okay, so you've just moved into your new home here on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula in scenic Washington State (hopefully sold by me!), or maybe you're getting ready to relocate somewhere else (why anyone would ever leave here is beyond me. But if you need to, give me a call!)

The Problem:   You've got cans and cans of old, used paint lying around, taking up lots of space. Being the environmentally-conscious person that you are, you want to dispose of it properly. What do you do?

Fortunately, there's a really great solution!

The Kitsap County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility

Located at 5551 SW Imperial Way, Port Orchard (off Hwy. 3 across from the Bremerton National Airport) 

The facility is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 10AM to 4PM (Map/Driving directions)

Now here's the cool part, it's FREE! Yes, that's right, it's FREE! If you have any of the typical household hazardous waste items - paint products, fertilizers, household cleaners, automotive products - you can bring them to the facility. Just pull up to the door, the staff will unload them, and you will sign an affidavit stating your name and address to verify that the items are household waste, and not business-related.

How cool is that? Don't wait for your wife to complain AGAIN about the garage being such a pit. Be 'green' AND clean, all at the same time!
