How to recycle paint tins

  • Empty, dry metal and plastic paint tins are accepted at most household waste recycling centres, check with your local council first;

  • Tins with wet paint are not accepted at household waste recycling centres as they are unable to accept liquid paint, as liquid wastes are banned from landfill sites;

  • Please do not decant paint into other containers as this prevents it being handled correctly and can be a potential hazard.
