Finished the job? Let us help with the leftovers.
Half-used paint tins have a habit of piling up. Our waste paint collection service helps you clear the shelves after a decorating project, make room in the stockroom or remove products your business no longer needs.
We collect emulsion, gloss, primers, varnishes and other coatings, from small tins and tubs to drums and pallet loads. Full, part-used and dried paint can be included. We can also help with thinners, used brushes and paint-contaminated materials as part of your clearance.
You do not need to write out every tin before contacting us. If you have a mixed load, photos can help us see what is there. Keep paint in its containers, avoid mixing products together and let us know about leaks or unknown contents.
Paint Waste Disposal FAQs
Can you collect leftover or dried paint?
Yes. Full, part-used and dried paint can all be included in your enquiry. We will help you arrange a collection suited to the products you have.
Do I need a list of every paint tin?
No. A quick description is enough to get in touch. Photos of a mixed load and any readable labels can help us work out the collection.
Is paint always hazardous waste?
No. It depends on the ingredients and contamination. Solvents and other hazardous substances can affect classification, so neither “water-based” nor “dried” automatically means non-hazardous.
Can empty tins and painting materials be collected?
Yes, ask us about empty tins, thinners, brushes, rollers and contaminated rags. Residues can affect how they are handled, so keep the different materials separate.
How much does paint disposal cost?
The paint mix, amount and collection location affect the price. Our team will give you a clear quote, whether you have a few tins or a larger stock clearance.
Do you offer regular paint waste collections?
Yes. If your business produces paint waste regularly, ask about collections and suitable containers to keep your storage area clear.
