Old paint is one of the most commonly stockpiled items in Falkirk homes. It builds up in garages, sheds and cupboards after every decorating project. The problem is, you can't put paint tins in your general waste bin — especially if they still contain liquid paint.
Oil-based paints, varnishes and wood stains are classified as hazardous waste. Even water-based emulsion needs proper disposal if liquid. Most recycling centres have strict limits, and leaving paint outside risks contamination. You need a licensed carrier to handle it correctly.
