We’re delighted to announce that following a very successful pilot scheme in Stafford, Staffordshire County Council have rolled out another Community Repaint scheme at a second site in Cannock.

Residents at the two sites have already been picking up paint for reuse in droves with an impressive 378 litres of paint picked up form Cannock on its very first day of opening. That’s a lot of paint saved from waste, in one day!

With 14 Household Waste Recycling Centres run by Staffordshire County Council, we’re excited to see lots more paint being donated and reused by residents all across the county in the near future. If you want to be the first to know of new schemes or drop off points near you- sign up to our newsletter here.

If you are a Staffordshire resident and you have leftover paint from your home that you’d like to pass on for reuse, visit the drop-off point at either Stafford or Cannock. Local groups and individuals will then be able to access the site to collect the paint and reuse it.

Individuals and groups can collect paint for reuse for free from these sites.

This scheme is part of Staffordshire Council’s Waste Savvy Staffs campaign, aiming to reduce waste in Staffordshire by focusing on the core principles of reduce, reuse and recycle.
