Those Paint Cans Need to Go
You finished painting the house three years ago, and those half-empty cans are still sitting in the garage. Maybe there's a collection of dried-up latex paint from every room you've ever touched up. Or worse, some old oil-based paint that you're not even sure how to get rid of.
Paint can't just go in the trash. It's classified as hazardous waste in most cases, especially oil-based varieties. Even latex paint needs proper disposal depending on its condition. Top Shelf handles paint disposal throughout the Boise area, making sure everything is taken to licensed facilities that follow Idaho DEQ regulations.
We'll come to your home, load up all those paint cans, and handle the disposal process. You don't need to worry about sorting, drying out, or making multiple trips to a hazardous waste facility. We take care of it.

Why Paint Needs Special Disposal
Paint contains chemicals that can contaminate soil and groundwater if they're not disposed of correctly. Oil-based paint, in particular, is highly regulated. Even latex paint can be problematic if it's still liquid. Idaho DEQ has specific rules about how paint must be handled, and violating those rules can result in fines.
When you hire Top Shelf, you're hiring a team that knows the regulations and follows them. We transport paint in proper containers, use licensed disposal facilities, and keep documentation. You get peace of mind knowing it was done right.
How Much Does Paint Disposal Cost?
The cost depends on how much paint you have and what type it is. Give us a call at (208) 593-2877, and we'll give you a quote over the phone. No hidden fees, no surprises.
