Donating Paint

Looking to donate your unused paint?

It’s great to hear you’re wanting to make sure your used paint doesn’t go to waste, but unfortunately we do not accept donated paint directly at our paint store.

However, you can donate paint to any of the 8 Leeds City Council Household Waste Recycling Centres. When you take your paint to one of the sites you will be find one of our pink Seagulls paint banks. Please leave your leftover paint tins in here ready for us to collect.

What we accept

We will reuse any paint that has more than a couple of inches left in the pot. Paint that is solid or paint pots that are empty can go directly into your black general waste bin.

We accept any non hazardous paint:

  • household emulsion
  • masonry emulsion
  • timber care
  • garden shades
  • water and oil based gloss
  • varnish
  • wood stain
  • radiator paint
  • tile paint
  • undercoat
  • hammerite
  • bitumen
  • floor paint
  • decking stain

Do you accept trade paint?

As a general rule we only accept leftover household paint.

We would love to have the capacity to collect trade paint HOWEVER we have enough paint coming through our doors from householders. If we can increase demand in the paint store we can increase the avenues we accept unwanted paint. So, this is a plea to decorators…
