Derby

About the scheme

Managed by Derby Play And Recycling Centre, Community RePaint Derby has been part of the network since 2000, making it one of our oldest schemes. The majority of their paint comes from a local recycling centre where they collect paint which has been dropped off by local residents. They will also consider other paint available locally from traders, retailers and manufacturers.

To use the scheme you must either be a Scrapstore member or pay a one-time registration fee of £3. Most paint costs £2 per litre and there are some free paints and free drop cloths available with paint purchases.

The scheme has a range of colours and types of paint available.

To pick up paint for your project, simply visit the scheme during its opening hours.  Because volunteer availability may affect the scheme’s opening hours, we advise you to call before visiting to check if the scheme is fully open.

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.
