Free Leftover Paint

Looking for your next DIY project?

We have free leftover paint tins that North London residents, community groups and charities can collect from our Reuse and Recycling Centres (RRC).

You’ll help us reduce waste whilst saving money on your next painting project!

Donate

If you have extra paint tins around your house, why not donate them to one of our RRCs? New or used, we’ll ensure they find a new home so paint doesn’t go to waste.

Over 50 million litres of paint goes to waste every year in the UK

Across our seven RRCs, we receive a high volume of used paint cans, many of which can be reused.

We’re doing our part to reduce the amount of paint going to waste in our local community. Our team sort through the paint upon arrival at our RRCs, separating out paint that can be reused and making it available for residents to collect for free.

North London residents, charities and community groups can collect up to 10 tins of paint in one visit. If you require more, please email enquiries@v-lanterna.com.
