RePaint scheme
The RePaint scheme is one of the intiatives run from the Central Depot in Twickenham. Rather than throwing paint away as rubbish Community RePaint at Richmond Upon Thames collects unwanted but usable paint for redistribution to community groups and individuals in receipt of benefits.
Donating paint
Have you got paint you no longer need? You may deposit your paint at Townmead Road Re-use and Recycling Centre.
If you would like to donate paint please note only usable paint is accepted such as:
- Emulsion
- Gloss
- Eggshell
- Undercoat
- Primer
- Masonry paint
- Exterior paint
We are not able to accept the following;
- Paint stripper
- Thinners
- Brush cleaners
- Varnishes
- Car paint
- Aerosols
- Paint over 10 years old
- Paint not in its original container
How to apply for paint
Paint is available free of charge to community groups, charities and voluntary organisations for use related to their activities. Paint is also given to individuals referred by Social Services and/or other public agencies.
