How to Dispose of Old Paint in London

You can't pour paint down the drain (it pollutes water) and you can't put liquid paint in the bin.

Dry It Out

For small amounts, add sand or sawdust to harden it. Once hardened, it can often be disposed of as general waste (check local council rules).

Large Amounts? Call Us.

If you have half-full tins from a big renovation, drying them out is impractical. Mme Waste Ldn collects liquid paint as part of our hazardous waste service.

Community Repaint

Consider donating usable paint to a Community RePaint scheme, where it can be used by local charities and community groups.
