Tukwila residents can recycle old paint for free during a community collection event on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tukwila Community Center. The event, organized by the City of Tukwila in partnership with GreenSheen Paint, will accept unlimited amounts of latex paint, oil-based paint, and other coatings in containers of five gallons or smaller. “This is a convenient and eco-friendly way for people to clear out unused paint and keep it out of the waste stream,” city officials stated. However, certain items, including aerosol spray paint, paint thinner, and other hazardous materials, will not be accepted. This initiative aims to reduce waste and encourage sustainable practices among residents. No pre-registration is required, making it accessible for all community members. Recycling events like this are essential for promoting environmental responsibility and reducing landfill waste.
