Queen Anne Paint Pickup: Clearing Years-Old Cans Out of Storage

Paint Pick Up in Queen Anne, Seattle

Some paint pickups are recent leftovers. Others have clearly been sitting untouched for years. That was the case on a recent stop in Queen Anne, where a stack of paint cans — including a few with rusted lids and faded labels — had been stored away in a shed-like space and mostly forgotten about.

Mixed in with the older cans were a can of spray paint and a few more recent additions, the kind of pile that builds up gradually over multiple small projects until it's enough to make someone finally call for pickup. We cleared the whole stack in one visit, no sorting or hauling required from the homeowner.

Queen Anne's older housing stock means a lot of homes have sheds, crawlspaces, and basements that have quietly collected paint cans over the years — sometimes from owners who've since moved on. Seattle Paint Pickup serves Queen Anne homeowners from the top of the hill down to lower Queen Anne, and we're used to handling cans that have been sitting for a while, rust and all.

Pricing: 5-gallon can $18, 1-gallon can $10, quart/pint $5, spray paint $3.
