Pouring paint down the drain pollutes water courses and is illegal. A licensed carrier disposes of it the right way. If you leave it ## What it costs to put this off. - Old paint tins rust through and leak in the garage — paint on the floor is a far bigger job than the tins were. - Pouring paint down the sink or drain is illegal and can carry fines — it ends up in the water system. - Paint left in a hot garage or shed is a fire risk, especially solvent-based gloss and white spirit. Common mistakes ## The traps to avoid. - Binning wet paint with the household waste — refuse crews will often reject the bin and you're left with the problem. - Driving multiple tins to the council recycling centre, only to find they cap the quantity per visit or refuse liquid paint. - Hiring an unlicensed 'man with a van' for hazardous-ish waste — if it ends up fly-tipped the householder can be fined.

In detail ## Everything that falls under paint tin disposal. ### Pricing Paint tin disposal is quoted on the number and type of tins. From £45 (minimum uplift £45) for a small batch. Larger volumes — for example a decorator's end-of-job clear-out — quoted on the call. Prices are a guide only — final quote confirmed on site or by phone. ### What we take Emulsion, gloss, undercoat, primer, masonry paint, varnish, wood stain and similar household and trade tins. We'll also take associated items often found in the same corner — white spirit, brush cleaner, small motor oil bottles and similar — under the same job. For commercial volumes or industrial chemicals, tell us when you call so we can quote correctly. ### Why not the household bin Wet paint isn't accepted in domestic refuse — refuse crews will often reject the whole bin. Council recycling centres typically cap quantity and only accept fully dried tins or small amounts of liquid. A licensed carrier handles any volume and disposes of it the right way.
