Old paint tins accumulate in garages and sheds — half-used tins from decorating projects that pile up over the years. In Broadstone, across Lower Blandford Road, Hillbourne and Dunyeats, paint disposal is a common headache because liquid paint can't go in your household bins or be poured down the drain. It's classified as hazardous waste. We collect paint tins, varnish, wood stain, and spray cans from your property and take them to licensed hazardous waste processing facilities. 1930s detached and semi-detached with large gardens properties in Broadstone often have garages and sheds with years of accumulated tins. Affluent residential area popular with families. Larger gardens and garages mean more clearance and garden waste jobs.
Doing a clearout? A half load is £179 — fill half the van with anything.

Nuffield Recycling Centre (2.8 miles from Broadstone) accepts paint in small quantities. There's usually a designated hazardous waste area where you can leave a few tins at a time. But if you've got 20+ tins from a garage clear-out, they may turn you away or limit what you can leave. Vans and trailers require a free permit — apply online at least 5 working days ahead. We take any reasonable quantity in one visit.
