Leftover paint can be recycled for free at Paintback collection points. It is advised to call ahead and check if they are currently collecting.
Empty paint tins can be collected as part of a hard rubbish collection.
Paint and paint tins cannot be disposed of in your household bins.
Paintback, the industry-run paint recycling scheme, transports the paint from the collection point for treatment. The packaging and waste liquid are separated and the containers are recycled. Waste paint is treated in a number of ways including energy recovery for solvent and liquid/solid separation for water-based paint, significantly minimising landfill over current practices.
Visit the Paintback website for collection points and accepted products.
