Lincolnshire rolls out free paint reuse scheme across all recycling centres

Lincolnshire residents can now collect free leftover paint at each of the county’s 11 Household Waste Recycling Centres, following the completion of the Community RePaint network with the opening of a store in Skegness.

The scheme gathers unwanted but usable paint and makes it available at no cost to the public. Supplies cover a range of household types and finishes, depending on donations received.

Community RePaint Stores are now operating in Skegness, Louth, Grantham, Lincoln, Tattershall, Sleaford, Market Rasen, Boston, Gainsborough, Bourne, and Spalding.

Residents can take part by speaking to staff at their local site, whether to donate surplus paint or pick some up for home projects. The initiative reduces waste while providing households with a practical way to save money on decorating and creative work.
