Community RePaint Cambridgeshire – Affordable Paint for Your Projects

Community RePaint Cambridgeshire is a hub for reclaimed and remanufactured paint as well as other materials. Run by REMO (formerly known as CCORRN), they have two convenient locations in March and Wisbech where you can pick up paint for your home, garden, or community project.

Affordable Recycled Paint for All Projects

At both REMO sites, you’ll find a variety of paint saved from waste, perfect for DIY, home renovation, and larger projects. The paint is not only budget-friendly but also helps reduce landfill waste. Visit Community RePaint Cambridgeshire during their opening hours to browse their selection and purchase paint at low prices.

ReColour Paint – Perfect for Community Projects

REMO is one of our ReColour remanufacturing centres, producing high-quality, nearly-new paint that’s ideal for community projects. If you need larger quantities (60 litres or more), you can order our ReColour paint in bulk. Smaller amounts are available to purchase directly through the REMO website.

Paint saved from waste in Cambridgeshire and beyond

Community RePaint Cambridgeshire collects unused paint from local Household Waste Recycling Centres, retailers, traders, and manufacturers. REMO also offer commercial paint treatment services for responsible disposal.

REMO operates as a membership organisation, welcoming new members to join for a small fee. As a member, you’ll gain access to the Community RePaint scheme and The Bits & Bobs Scrapstore.

Need Larger Quantities of Paint?

If you need more than 60 litres of paint for a community project, you can easily order from us centrally. Learn more about bulk orders here.

Important Note for Paint Donations

Please note that Community RePaint Cambridgeshire does not accept paint donations from individual householders. However, you can use our householder paint drop-off point finder to locate a drop-off point near you for leftover paint donations.

The Community RePaint Northampton scheme is hosted by Northampton Partnership Homes. They believe that safe, secure and affordable homes are a basic human need; critical for health, strong family relationships, educational attainment and employment.

The paint is available to individuals and groups for £1-2 per litre.

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.

You can buy ReColour, our remanufactured paint, from the Crest Co-operative in Llandudno. They are not a Community RePaint scheme so they do not collect or redistribute leftover paint from their local community. Instead, they partner with our remanufacturing centres in Cambridgeshire and on the Wirral to stock the ReColour paint that the centres produce. ReColour is an interior emulsion paint available in 18 colours plus white and magnolia.

Please contact for available colours and prices, as these may differ from other outlets and Community RePaint schemes.

Note: you CANNOT drop off paint here for reuse. Crest Llandudno only stock ReColour paint for sale. To drop off paint, find your nearest drop-off point here.

At their premises in Hillfields, you will find a range of bric-a-brac, furniture, electricals and more. The Community RePaint scheme compliments this well, allowing them to also offer their customers a source of affordable paint, available to purchase at £2.00 per litre.
