Paint Disposal Done The Legal Way By Licensed Routes
Leftover paint is one of the most common things people get wrong when they clear out a garage or finish decorating. It cannot go in the household bin as liquid, it must never be poured down a drain or a gully, and it is banned from skips. Kruze collects old paint, varnish, wood stains and related decorating products and disposes of them through licensed specialist routes with the correct documentation. Whether it is a handful of half used tins or a decorator's full clearout, we take it away and deal with it the proper way.
What paint disposal costs
Because paint is a specialist material, disposal is priced to the job rather than from a general table, and it starts from £45 for a small quantity. If the paint is part of a wider clearance, such as a garage or a decorator's van clearout, we simply roll it into the overall load price so you are not paying twice. Send us a photo of the tins and a rough count of how many there are, and we will confirm a fixed quote before we arrive so you know exactly where you stand.
What we take and how to present it
We collect emulsion, gloss, primers, undercoats, varnishes, wood treatments, solvents and their containers. Sealed tins are the easiest to move, and part used tins should have their lids pressed firmly on to avoid spills in transit. If any tins are already leaking, tell us in advance so we bring suitable containment to lift them cleanly. As a useful tip, fully dried out solid emulsion can sometimes go with general waste, and if that is the case we will happily tell you so you can save the specialist charge. We arrange collection of spray cans and pressurised aerosols too, though those need to be kept with the lids on and away from heat until collection. If you have a mix of paint and other decorating waste such as rollers, trays, dust sheets and filler, we can clear the whole lot together in one visit.
Handled through authorised facilities
Liquid paint and solvents go to authorised treatment and recovery facilities, and usable, good condition paint is passed to community reuse schemes where it qualifies rather than being destroyed. Every collection is documented with a waste transfer note under Environment Agency registration CBDU597687, so your duty of care is met and recorded, which matters just as much for a trade decorator as it does for a household.
Booking a paint collection
Contact us with photos and a rough count of tins across Leeds and West Yorkshire. We will confirm the price and a slot, and our crew loads everything so you are never handling leaking or heavy tins yourself. It is the simple, legal way to be rid of paint for good, whether you are a homeowner with a garage full of half tins from old projects or a decorator clearing down at the end of a contract. Either way, it is off your hands and dealt with the right way in a single collection.
