Old paint tins accumulate in garages and sheds — half-used tins from decorating projects that pile up over the years. In Sherborne, across Castleton, Westbury and Oborne, 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. honey-coloured stone buildings and period properties properties in Sherborne often have garages and sheds with years of accumulated tins. Historic abbey town with excellent schools. Affluent market town popular with families and retirees. Strong community identity.

Doing a clearout? A half load is £179 — fill half the van with anything.
Disposing of Paint via Dorset Council vs TipRun
Dorset Council doesn't collect paint through their bulky waste service — it's hazardous waste. Your options are the recycling centre (small quantities only) or a specialist hazardous waste collection which can take weeks to arrange. TipRun handles paint disposal as a standard collection.
| Council | TipRun | |
|---|---|---|
| Paint collection | Not available via bulky waste | from £NaN |
| Tip drop-off | Small quantities only | Any reasonable quantity |
| Wait time | Hazardous collection: weeks | Same-day available |
| Spray cans | Separate hazardous waste | Accepted |
| Disposal route | You must arrange | Licensed specialist facility |
Taking Paint to Blandford Recycling Centre
Blandford Recycling Centre (18 miles from Sherborne) 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.

For paint disposal, please have the tins accessible — garage, shed, or driveway. Make sure lids are on to prevent spills during transport. We take full, part-used, or dried-out tins.
