Local household recycling centres in Wiltshire have a great community paint reuse scheme which allows residents and community groups to collect free water-based paint which would have normally gone to waste.

If you have any leftover tins of water-based paint (ideally over half full) that are still in a usable condition and you’re unsure of how to get rid of it, take them along to your local HRC to promote reuse and prevent waste.
