About the scheme
About the scheme
Our scheme in Grantham is run by Lincolnshire County Council. It is operated through the local household waste recycling centre. At this site, you can drop off leftover paint from your home or collect paint for your home or local project.
Collect paint for your home or project
If you are an individual or group from the local area you can get free paint from this scheme. The types of paint available depends on what has been brought for disposal, but most paint types are accepted, so pay them a visit to see what is on offer.
Drop off leftover paint
If you are a resident within the Lincolnshire local authority area and you have leftover paint from your home that you’d like to pass on for reuse, visit the drop-off point on-site at Grantham Recycling Centre to donate your paint.
Groups and individuals will then be able to access the site to collect the paint and use it locally.
As this drop-off point is run by the local authority, the site is unable to accept paint donations from businesses. If you are a trader, retailer, manufacturer or other business with leftover paint, click here to find out how you can donate your leftover paint for reuse through the Community RePaint network.
Please note, if you live outside of the Lincolnshire County Council local authority area, you will not be eligible to access the site. If there is no drop-off point in your local authority area you will need to contact your local authority for guidance on what to do with your leftover paint. You can also adapt this template letter to encourage your local authority to consider collecting leftover paint for reuse at their sites.
