Taking Paint to Dorchester Recycling Centre
Dorchester Recycling Centre (1.0 mile from Dorchester) 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. Dorset address proof required. We take any reasonable quantity in one visit.
