About the scheme

Our scheme in Basingstoke joined the network in 2005. The scheme is part of the Community Furniture Project, a furniture reuse charity which sells a wide range of re-used, donated furniture and household items. They collect full containers of paint from traders, retailers and manufacturers. They also occasionally collect part full containers but the majority of their stock are full, unopened containers which are returned, mis-tinted or end of line stock.

The paint is available to individuals and groups are charged £2 per litre for full containers. The scheme will consider providing paint at no cost to groups and charities working in the local area.

To pick up paint for your project, simply visit the scheme during its opening hours.

Stock at Community RePaint schemes does vary throughout the year depending on what paint has recently been passed on for reuse by local businesses, traders and/or waste contractors in the area.

If there are specific types or colours of paint you are interested in purchasing for your project, we recommend contacting the scheme directly ahead of visiting, to find out if they have the paint you’re looking for in stock.

If you need larger quantities (over 60 litres) of paint for a community project, you can also order our remanufactured paint from us centrally. Find out more here.

Please note, if you are looking to pass on your leftover paint for reuse, this scheme does not accept paint donations from householders. Instead, please use our householder drop-off point finder to find out if you have a Community RePaint householder paint drop-off point in your area.
