Trade Donations
The
Colchester and Tendring RePaint scheme has been set
up with funding to redistribute unwanted Paint from
Domestic Households only. Paint from Commercial
Traders is classified as Hazardous and must be
disposed of under expensive Hazardous Waste
Regulations. Whilst we can accept paint from
Commercial Traders, we MAY make a charge in
accordance with the following scale. This is likely
to be cheaper than disposing of paint through other
channels.
