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
.
Please follow the guidelines regarding paint reuse & disposal
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.
