At Collect and Recycle, we specialise in disposing of waste paint for businesses. Our waste management team collects paint and containers for businesses nationwide, ensuring the recycling of paint tins.
To legally dispose of paint, get in touch with our professional team to ensure the use of safe disposal processes. If you are dealing with a small volume, ensure the paint is hardened before transporting the materials to your local council’s disposal facility.
As liquid 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 in line with hazardous waste regulations. You should never pour paint down the drain as it can pollute the environment and damage drainage systems.
To prepare your paint safely for our collection, please store waste inside or covered with secure lids to prevent contamination. This includes mixing with rainwater and other external elements.
All of your paint tins should be free of contamination from other waste streams, such as rags and brushes. Different paint types can also be stored separately, as this may reduce disposal costs.
Our paint tin disposal service is committed to environmental responsibility and sustainability. We can collect both metal paint and plastic paint tins, ensuring the materials are recycled effectively.
We work with clients who require one-off paint disposal services, as well as those who need frequent collections. For customers who have a regular requirement, we can provide containers, such as a waste bin, on-site. Our paint disposal service covers everything from leftover and unused paint to empty paint tins for recycling.
Please note, we do not offer services for household waste. Paint can be taken to designated local household waste recycling centres, or specialist treatment facilities. Community RePaint projects also accept leftover paint for local community groups.
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.
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.
Trade waste collection and skip companies prohibit the disposal of paint tins mixed with general waste.
