Paint Disposal & Recycling
Waste paint, coatings, tins, resins, hardeners and thinners collected from trade, industrial and facilities sites.
How our paint disposal & recycling service works
Paint waste may be hazardous because of solvent content, isocyanates, heavy metal pigments or contaminated thinners. Part-used tins and residues should not be mixed into general waste.
We collect pallets of tins, drums, aerosols, sludges, resins, hardeners and related coating waste from decorators, bodyshops, contractors, manufacturers and property teams.
We collect the waste as a licensed waste carrier, using ADR drivers where required, and take it to a licensed disposal site operating under the appropriate permit or exemption.
