Ballard Paint Pick Up

Ballard, Seattle Paint Pick Up

A homeowner in the Sunset Hill area of Ballard reached out after finishing a full craftsman remodel — new kitchen, refinished floors, and a garage that had turned into a paint graveyard. Between the previous owners and three rounds of their own touch-ups, the garage held close to twenty cans: half-used latex from the exterior trim, a few quarts of oil-based stain for the built-ins, some old spray paint, and a couple of unmarked cans nobody wanted to open.

Like a lot of Ballard homes near 24th Ave NW and Market Street, this one had a detached garage with limited space, and the paint cans were taking up the spot meant for bikes and yard tools. The homeowner called Seattle Paint Pickup and had a pickup window booked for the next morning.

What We Picked Up in Ballard

• Latex paint (assorted 1-gallon and 5-gallon cans)

• Oil-based wood stain

• Spray paint cans

• A few unlabeled cans, safely assessed and hauled

Our team showed up on time, loaded everything straight from the garage, and made sure every can was accounted for so nothing got left behind for the next dumpster run. The homeowner didn't have to drive anywhere, wait in line at a hazardous waste site, or figure out what could and couldn't go in the regular trash.
