Honest_Man#1 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 How unbelievably difficult it is to get rid of old paint. The previous owners of my flat left about 20 half full tins of paint and hadn’t realised how much of a pain in the arse disposing of it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I thought this had died a death but folk loudly, and in a weirdly elongated way saying "HA-PPNIN" as a greeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only wet paint that can not be accepted in the waste, so dry it out by adding something absorbent like cat litter or sawdust then once completely dry the tins can go in your general waste bin at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the above is from a local site to you, but I’ve had a look and it seems like you’re still supposed to take the dried out paint tins to a recycling centre. That’s not the annoying bit though. I’ve got so many old paint cans that it will take about a tonne of sawdust and weeks to dry them all out fully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they realised exactly how much of a pain in the arse it is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve not written that well, needed a comma. I’m well aware they realised, it was me who didn’t realise until researching it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few charities that will take them off your hands. Looked into it before but you'll have to do your own googling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the tins in black bin bags and toss them in the landfill at the local dump FFS 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
