Community RePaint Store opens in Boston

A new Community RePaint Store has opened at the Bittern Way Household Waste Recycling Centre in Boston. The store gives residents access to free, reusable paint.

The Community RePaint initiative collects unused and leftover paint that would otherwise go to waste and makes it available to local people free of charge.

Cllr Danny Brookes, executive member for environment at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “We’re really pleased to see the Community RePaint network expanding across Lincolnshire. These stores offer a brilliant way for residents to access free paint, save money, and do their bit for the environment at the same time.”

This latest opening follows launches at the Louth, Grantham, Lincoln, Tattershall, Sleaford and Market Rasen Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Councillor Callum Butler, portfolio holder for environmental services, Boston Borough Council, said: “It’s great to hear about this new initiative being launched by Lincolnshire County Council at the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Boston.

“Leftover building and decorating supplies such as paint are often just discarded without much thought, so it is pleasing to see this facility open in Boston making disposal of used paint far easier.

“As such, I would like to encourage all residents who are planning on doing some DIY, or indeed those who have just finished some DIY, to head down to the Community RePaint Store and get your hands on some free paint and help the environment at the same time!”

Residents wishing to take advantage of the Community RePaint scheme — whether to drop off paint or collect some — simply need to speak to a member of staff on site.
