Waste and Recycling
Paint Reuse and Disposal

Waste such as paint has to be disposed of in a specific way, in order to prevent harm to the environment.

Don't pour paint down the drain
  • Donate unwanted paints and varnishes, as others can reuse them.
  • Look for disposal or recycling instructions on the packaging of the product.
  • Buy products in bulk whenever possible to reduce packaging waste.
  • Use eco-friendly alternatives whenever possible.
Reuse
Community RePaint is a network of paint reuse schemes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The purpose of the project is to collect leftover reusable paint from householders, and redistribute it to those who need paint but cannot afford it. The Community RePaint site will tell you more about the scheme and help you find your nearest RePaint scheme.

Disposal
If your paint is unsuitable for reuse and you wish to dispose of it, please be aware that you will need to complete a chemical waste form. Please note that only Princes Drive in Leamington Spa is licensed to accept this type of waste.
