Community Repaint

Last year 400 million litres of paint (retail and trade) were sold in the UK. Of this, it is estimated that approximately 80 million litres are unused, stored in homes or garages or just thrown away. Thats enough paint to fill 33 Olympic-sized swimming pools! Community RePaint provides a solution to this problem by providing an outlet for unwanted reusable paint while helping local communities and individuals. In 2006 the Community RePaint national network redistributed over 208,000 litres of paint (which overwise would of ended up in landfill) worth over £800,000 to a total of 11,000 individuals and community and voluntary groups. If you need paint for a redecoration project then you can use their post code search locator to find your nearest Community RePaint scheme.
