Paint and paint cans

We ask that you please never pour leftover paint down the drain as doing so can pollute our water courses. You should store your paint in a cool dry place out of the reach of children. Do not put paint or paint tins in your recycling boxes or household waste bin.

How can you reduce waste?

  • only purchase the amount you need
  • make sure that lids are firmly on so that paint remains useable
  • prevent spillages by making sure lids are firmly replaced after use

Can your paint be reused?

When you are finished using any of your paint, you can donate it to local community groups such as scouts or Changing lives together.

Recycling

Paint and paint cans can be recycled at the household waste recycling centres. Please put your leftover paint in the paint reuse container.

  • we will only accept paint in containers which do not leak
  • leave the paint in its original container as long as it does not leak
  • paint for businesses is not accepted
