Community Repaint

In 2010, 366 million litres of paint were bought in the UK . Of this, it is estimated that approximately 55 million litres are unused, stored in homes, garages or just thrown away. That's enough paint to fill 22 Olympic-sized swimming pools! 

How to donate paint

You can donate your unwanted paint for reuse in Southwark through the Community RePaint network. This includes any full or part-full tins that are leftover.

Take your unwanted tins to our new reuse and recycling centre at 43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL .
