Paint Reuse and Disposal

Waste such as paint has to be disposed of in a specific way, as it could be very damaging to the environment.

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.

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.

If you would like a form posted to you please contact Waste Management, alternatively you can download or complete a chemical waste form online.
