COPE Shetland

About the scheme

Community RePaint in Shetland is hosted by COPE, the island’s leading centre for community reuse and recycling.

Their reuse hub is stocked with pre-loved items and offers affordable access to high quality second-hand furniture, electricals, homeware, gifts, and collectables. Enabling local individuals, families and community groups access to purchase affordable paint with a Community RePaint centre, complements their ongoing work well.

In store you will find both full and part-full tins of paint passed on for reuse by local householders, traders, retailers and manufacturers, which is then processed and made available for the general public, community groups and charities to purchase, from £2 per litre.

To pick up paint for your project:

Simply visit during 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 directly ahead of visiting, to find out if they have the paint you’re looking for in stock.

To drop off your leftover paint for reuse: 

Simply drop off your unwanted paint at one of Shetland’s collection points (in store or at the SIC’s Gremista Waste Management Facility) and they will process it.
