As we celebrate our 25 year anniversary, it’s good to look back at the history of where we began.
The Waste Wagon, was the inspiration behind the current Community RePaint network, and begun as it was found that homeowners tend to store large volumes of leftover, reusable paint in our sheds, garages and cupboards. As part of the project, this leftover paint was collected from householders, along with other DIY materials and hazardous items. At the end of the project, the paint was given to local charities and groups, which highlighted the demand for affordable paint amongst these organisations, as well as a need amongst individuals and families on low income.
