HOW TO DISPOSE OF PAINT

Paint and Chemical Disposal Service

At Collect and Recycle we specialise in disposing of waste paint for businesses. Our waste management team collects paint and tins for businesses nationwide.

As paint is banned from landfill sites, its essential to not dispose of this waste in your general rubbish bins. Paint is classified as hazardous waste, and must be disposed of with a professional team. You should never pour paint down the drain as it can pollute the environment and damage drainage systems.

FAQs

Paint Disposal Questions

Are Empty Paint Cans Hazardous Waste?

Whether empty paint cans are considered hazardous waste depends on the type of paint they contain and whether any residue remains. Cans that once held oil-based paint are typically classified as hazardous, even when empty, due to the potential presence of harmful chemicals.

If there are significant residues of dried paint inside, it’s safer to treat them as hazardous waste. We can collect unwanted paint left in containers, empty tins, or full volumes of paint. Please book a hazardous waste collection with our team for safe disposal.

Can Paint Tins Go In General Waste?

No, you should not dispose of paint tins in general waste. Even empty paint tins may still contain paint residue.

For larger quantities, utilising our professional service ensures that your waste is handled responsibly. We specialise in paint recycling and disposal for businesses.
