Drop off leftover paint

If you are a resident of West Berkshire, you can drop off paint at the recycling centre by appointment – click here to book your timeslot to visit the site.

When you arrive on site, please ask a member of staff to direct you to the Community RePaint drop-off area. Your paint will be sorted and liquid paint in its original container, in good condition that is at least half full will be put out for reuse. Hazardous paint (check the symbols on the tin) and spray paint is not accepted by the Community Repaint Scheme at present.

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 West Berkshire 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. If you would like to make it available to other people to use you can post it on local reuse sites such as Freegle and Gumtree.

Collect paint for your home or project

Ware Recycling Centre & Reuse Shop

Hertfordshire County Council runs our Community RePaint scheme in Ware at the Household Waste Recycling Centre. At this site, Hertfordshire residents can drop off leftover paint from their home or pick up paint for free. Here’s how it works:

Drop off leftover paint

Residents with leftover paint from their home, can drop it off at Ware Recycling Centre. Local groups and individuals can then collect this paint for free to reuse in the community. If the paint is in good condition, in its original container, and at least half full, it will be stocked at the Reuse shop on site. Hazardous or spray paints are not accepted. To drop off at this site, you need bring a proof of address.

Please note that Ware drop-off point is managed by the Council, therefore they cannot accept paint donations from businesses. If you’re a trader, retailer, manufacturer, or other business with leftover paint, click here to learn how you can donate it for reuse through the Community RePaint network.

If you are not a Hertfordshire resident, you will not be eligible to access the site to drop off paint. Please check the Hertfordshire website to check if there are permits for neighbouring counties.

No drop-off point in your local authority area? Why not encourage your council to join our network- download our template email/letter here.

Collect paint for your home or project
