The Problem

Old Paint Tins Stacking Up? We Collect and Dispose of Them Safely

Old paint is one of the most commonly stockpiled items in Greenock 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.

  • Paint tins can't go in your general waste or recycling bin
  • Oil-based paints are classified as hazardous waste
  • Most recycling centres limit paint drop-offs
  • Liquid paint risks contaminating other waste and the environment
  • Stockpiled paint tins take up valuable storage space

Had about 40 old paint tins in the garage — some from 15 years ago. A mix of emulsion, gloss, varnish and primer. Cheaper Than A Skip collected the lot for £30 and handled all the disposal. Finally got my garage back.

Local Knowledge

Local Knowledge: Paint Disposal Across Greenock

The building decides how we carry in Greenock. Greenock climbs from the waterfront in tiers: Victorian tenements and villas in the West End, post-war schemes at Larkfield, Branchton and Gibshill on the hill, and new housing on the old sugar and shipyard sites.

Across Greenock the regular calls come from Cartsdyke, tenements near the station and new riverside flats; Gibshill, housing-association voids on the hill; Bow Farm, family estates with driveways; Greenock West End, sandstone tenements and villas on the Esplanade with steep closes.

Inverclyde's Pottery Street recycling centre is the local site, close to the town centre and car-focused. Inverclyde Council runs a chargeable bulky uplift service. Staff at the sites will not lift for you, which is the whole problem with a sofa or a washing machine.

Practical note: Steep streets and tenement closes in the West End; the hill estates are easier for a van. Greenock clearances are famous for the stairs.
