SK House Clearance and Rubbish Removal · Ayrshire
Old paint can't go in your normal household bin. We collect and dispose of paint tins responsibly and in line with the correct waste regulations, so you don't have to worry about how to get rid of them safely.
SEPA-registered carrier · Licensed disposal · No mess left behind
Overview
Collection and responsible disposal of old paint tins — emulsion, gloss, undercoat, primer, varnish and similar — from homes, garages, sheds and commercial properties.
Households clearing out the garage or shed, landlords resetting between tenants, decorators with end-of-job leftovers, and executors clearing a parent's home.
During a garage or shed clearance, after a redecoration, before a house sale, or any time the back of the garage has filled up with old tins.
Liquid paint can't go in the household bin and most council recycling centres only take small amounts (and not always wet paint). Pouring paint down the drain pollutes water courses and is illegal. A licensed carrier disposes of it the right way.

Common mistakes
Our process
Same process every job — from your first call to the final tidy-up.
We visit (or review your photos) and, once we've seen the job in person, give you a clear, written, fixed-price quote — no hourly clock, no surprise disposal fees. Once it's in writing, the price won't change.
Rough number of tins and types (emulsion, gloss, varnish). A photo helps. We confirm price before we set off.
Tins lifted carefully, kept upright in the van and separated from general waste.
Paint taken to a facility that handles it correctly under the right waste regulations — waste transfer note available on request.
Doors locked, keys returned, property left tidy. Where a property is being resold or re-let we can arrange cleaners to come in. SEPA waste transfer note available on request.

No hourly clock. Minimum uplift £45. Prices are a guide only — final quote confirmed on site or by phone.
In detail
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.
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.
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.
