Our scheme in Mid Ulster is run by Mid Ulster District Council. It is operated through the network of local Household Recycling Centres (HRCs). At this site, you can drop off leftover paint from your home or collect paint for your home or local project.

Drop off leftover paint

If you are a resident within Mid Ulster district 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 the three above HRCs, to leave 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 Council, 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 Mid Ulster district, you will not be eligible to access the site. If there is no drop-off point in your local borough, you will need to contact your local Council for guidance on what to do with your leftover paint.

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.

If you would like to know what volume and range of paint colours we have at your local HRC, please visit them in person to browse what is on offer. The HRC staff will guide you to the RePaint shed on site.

Our Bristol City scheme is run by the SOFA Project, a reuse & recycling charity and social enterprise. They have three shops in Bristol, one based on Gloucester Road, one based in Old Market, and this shop, on Day’s Lane, St Phillips.  They sell a variety of second-hand/pre-loved furniture, electrical items, retro furniture and paint at affordable prices.

The scheme stocks full and part-full containers from householders, traders, retailers and manufacturers.  If you have good quality surplus paint then you can take it into any of the three stores.  The paint is checked and logged and is available to purchase by individuals and groups from £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.
