Frequently Asked Questions About Our Paint Collection & Disposal Services

The cost of a paint collection depends on the amount and type of paint you need us to remove, as well as your location. To get an accurate price, contact us with details of your waste and we’ll provide you with a no-obligation quote.

We can usually arrange paint collections within 24 hours or even on the same day you call, depending on your location and our availability. If you’re looking to book a same-day paint disposal service, get in touch from when our lines open at 7 am.

We can collect any volume of paint, be it that you’ve got a few leftover paint tins or a larger commercial load. We’re equipped to handle collections of all sizes, so let us know what you need, and we’ll arrange a paint collection plan suited to you.

Paint is classed as hazardous waste because it often contains substances that can harm human health or the environment. These include solvents, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds that, if not handled correctly, can release harmful fumes. This is why it must be treated by licensed professionals within UK hazardous waste regulations.

Household paint is typically used for decorating homes and includes products like emulsion, gloss, or masonry paint. It usually comes in smaller tins and is intended for general domestic use.

Commercial paint, on the other hand, is designed for trade or industrial purposes. It often comes in larger volumes and includes products such as floor coatings, anti-corrosion treatments, or high-durability finishes. They may also contain stronger chemicals and require different disposal processes under UK law.

Once collected, your paint waste is taken to a licensed treatment facility where it’s sorted by type of paint and condition. Where possible, the paint is recycled into new paint or repurposed in manufacturing. Any paint that can’t be reused is safely processed through controlled incineration, ensuring it’s handled in line with environmental regulations.

We finish off every paint collection and disposal service by issuing a Waste Transfer Note that details how we handled your waste. We’ll also provide you with a more detailed Consignment Note to confirm a fully compliant disposal under all waste regulations.

We’re registered with the Environment Agency and operate in line with all UK waste regulations. Our team issues a waste consignment note for every collection, ensuring full compliance and traceability. You can rely on us to manage your paint disposal legally.
