Paint Disposal Service Across the UK

At Collect and Recycle we specialise in disposing of waste paint for businesses. Our waste management team collects paint and tins for businesses nationwide. The waste is then transported to licensed treatment and recycling facilities for safe disposal.

As paint is banned from landfill sites, its essential to not dispose of this waste in your general rubbish bin. Paint is classed as hazardous waste and must be disposed of with a professional team.

Paint Tin Disposal Service

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.

By doing so, we prevent these containers from ending up in landfills where they can harm the environment. Our dedicated team ensures that the materials from these tins are processed and repurposed efficiently, reducing your environmental impact.

Get in touch today to book your waste collection. Solvent based paint, thinner and white spirit are all hazardous waste types and need a professional team to dispose of safely. These should never be placed along with general waste for local collections.

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. It’s crucial to handle these with care and not treat them as non-hazardous waste.

If there are significant residues of dried paint inside, it’s safer to treat them as hazardous waste. To ensure compliance with environmental regulations, consider using a hazardous waste collection service for proper disposal and recycling of these materials.

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 businesses disposing of small amounts of paint or paint tins, it’s important to follow best practices for hazardous waste disposal. Paint tins should ideally be emptied as much as possible, and any remaining oil-based paint should be allowed to dry before disposal. For larger quantities or commercial disposal needs, utilising our professional service ensures that your waste is handled responsibly, adhering to legal and environmental standards.
